PM accused of government failings over Zara Aleena murder
The prime minister added: "If we do want to increase the safety of women and girls out on our streets then we need tough sentencing, and that is why this government passed the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act, which he opposite and his party opposed."
Sir Keir countered saying: "In light of case of Zara, I really do not think the primer minister should be boasting about the protection he is putting in place for women." He said McSweeney was "not fit to walk the same streets", adding: "But that's precisely the problem. He was free to walk the same streets."On Tuesday, Zara's aunt Farah Naz said her niece would have been alive today if probation "had done their jobs better".Ms Naz described the report as "extremely distressing", adding her family had "lost a loved member... for absolutely nothing".
