Reform recruits former senior detective as police and crime adviser
Colin Sutton, who led the investigation into serial killer Levi Bellfield, is to help Nigel Farage's party develop its pledge to halve crime in five years.
Mr Farage has said he will spend £7 billion on policies towards this goal, including by recruiting 30,000 extra police officers.
The Reform leader told the Mail on Sunday newspaper that ex-police officer Mr Sutton would be a 'huge asset' to his party.
Mr Sutton told the paper he would give all frontline officers tasers, reopen 300 closed police stations, and stop investigations into online arguments as part of Reform's policing offer.
The two men will appear together at a press conference on Monday morning.

Prisoner on indefinite jail term ‘stripped naked and starved' before he launched rooftop protest
A prisoner serving an abolished indefinite jail term claims he was stripped naked and punched by prison officers who were 'starving' him before he climbed on to the roof of a maximum-security prison, a court heard. Joe Outlaw, 39, has served almost 14 years in prison after he was handed a four-and half-year Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence for robbing a takeaway with an imitation firearm in 2011. Jurors at Teesside Crown Court were told the open-ended jail term, which was scrapped in 2012, has been repeatedly described as a 'stain' on the justice system and linked to higher rates of suicide and self-harm, with at least 90 inmates taking their own lives in prison. Outlaw, who has ADHD, anxiety, paranoia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, told the court he began self-harming and damaging prison cells a few years into his sentence as he began to lose hope that he would be released. 'It's just appalling, shocking, soul destroying,' said Outlaw, who believes he has been held in up to 44 different prisons since he was handed an IPP sentence. 'When you have hope you invest in that hope and when that goes away you just cut yourself off to save the hurt to avoid disappointment. That's the truth of it.' In total, he has been held in segregation for almost seven years of his sentence, he told the court. Due to his worsening paranoia about people tampering with his food during the pandemic, he was moved on to a special diet of tinned tuna, pre-packaged noodles and cous cous in 2020. But when he was transferred to HMP Frankland in May 2023, he was denied his usual diet because prison staff said a tin could be used as a weapon. Outlaw told the court the refusal was 'vindictive' and 'retribution' from prison staff after he was transferred from HMP Manchester weeks earlier, following a similar rooftop protest after three IPP inmates had taken their own lives in quick succession. 'I just wanted people to know the suffering, the pain, the loss, the grief, the injustice,' he explained of the Manchester incident. 'So I got up there and painted 'FREE IPPZ' and sat there shivering for 13 hours.' He told the jury staff at Frankland were 'just grinding me down by starving me', adding that in other prison segregation units, officers were able to meet his dietary needs by simply opening the cans in front of him and passing him the tuna. He is accused of 14 counts of criminal damage caused to the jail in Brasside, Durham. Giving evidence in his own defence on Wednesday, he told the court he was forcibly extracted from his cell by prison officers on 25 May, pinned face-down on the floor and received two blows to his back as his clothes were cut off him. He was then punched in the face and thrown in a strip search cell with only a suicide prevention smock, he said. He told the court that while some prison officers have 'hearts of gold', some 'exploit' their power. 'I just thought they were going to kill me,' he said. 'I thought I have to get out of here. 'Because I had been horrendously treated. I was in an environment which was toxic and neglectful… it was horrible. 'They thought they could get away with anything and I thought I had to do something.' Footage previously played to the court showed Outlaw, dressed only in his underwear, using a piece of heating pipe to lever roofing material and pull roof tiles off the building after he breached segregation security measures on 21 June. He also used the pipe to try to smash cell windows as he clambered on the grated roof of the exercise yard. After the incident at Frankland, he was held in isolation with no contact with other prisoners for a year inside HMP Belmarsh, London, before he was transferred to HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire. In the first four months, he was strip-searched 140 times. He told the jury he had lost faith that he would ever escape his IPP jail term. 'Because there's been a mistake and everyone admitting it's wrong and it's awful, you believe someone is going to do something about it surely,' he added. 'But as time has passed, you soon realise that there's no change. No one gives a s**t. They will just let you die.' The trial continues.

We should learn a lesson from America's can-do attitude
But rather than looking at the alleged injustices of one high-profile incident, as the Orgreave Inquiry will do, it is surely just as important to explore the wider social and economic injustices inflicted by the decline of mining and other traditional industries. The most recent State of the Coalfields report from Sheffield University, which explores the condition of former mining communities across the UK, concludes that in Scotland these areas 'still display acute social and economic disadvantage'. It is something which Westminster's Scottish Affairs Committee has also touched on in its inquiry into industrial transition across Scotland. Read More: All of which underlines the necessity of sustainable reindustrialisation, the kind which rather than delivering here today-gone tomorrow employment, instead brings good jobs, skilled work and properly rewarding pay. These things should not be too much to expect. But for those who have fallen through the cracks in society in the years since the decline of older heavy industry, it has often felt that way. Now, with Scotland and the rest of the UK well placed to drive forward the industries of the future, a new era of opportunity is before us. That is why I'm delighted that we are on the verge of securing no fewer than 1,200 jobs for Ayrshire, in a development that promises to lock in growth, opportunity and community wealth for the long term. The UK-based undersea cable manufacturer XLCC is poised to deliver 900 manufacturing-related jobs at Hunterston, making the area a key hub for European and global development of technology which will help power the next generation of renewable energy projects at home and abroad. With global demand for high voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cables rapidly outpacing supply, the company aims to build the world's biggest and most advanced HVDC manufacturing facility here in Scotland. It is hard to overstate the importance and significance of this project. For years we have been told that Scotland, with its huge green energy potential, is on the verge of a new industrial revolution which can provide the jobs and energy security we so badly need. Too often however, it has felt like we have been waiting and waiting for that long-heralded promise to become a reality. That is why the XLCC project is so vital, and so exciting. In addition to the jobs at Hunterston, 300 additional jobs are expected to be created in Kilmarnock , with the multi-award winning HALO enterprise and low carbon innovation centre identified as the preferred location. I have developed HALO over many years in the 28-acre site of the former Johnnie Walker bottling plant in the town. These posts, including project delivery and sales teams, will drive and support the manufacturing facility at Hunterston. The XLCC development has been in the pipeline since 2020, and like HALO will only be delivered through partnership between the private sector, unions, local authorities and both the Scottish and UK Governments, all working at pace to ensure this massive opportunity is secured. There are two other points worth making in relation to this promised jobs windfall for Ayrshire. Firstly, I would urge both the Scottish and UK Governments to do more to speed up the pace of investment in regeneration and reindustrialisation, including the easing of planning laws to make such development easier. Checks and balances, along with due process, are important when it comes to planning. But too often we are forced to wait too long to turn potential into reality. And delays are one reason we see valuable jobs going to other countries instead of being created here. That links directly to the second point, which is just how important it is for the manufacturing bases for the industries that will power the rest of this century to be based in this country. Scotland may have an abundance of natural resources when it comes to our energy potential. We are blessed with huge advantages when to green power, in addition to the oil and gas which is still an important part of our energy mix. But that only counts for so much if the infrastructure and industrial gain required to exploit those resources is outsourced to other nations. The arrival of XLCC in Scotland will be a powerful counter to the notion that we have to look elsewhere for energy manufacturing. And, as Scotland and [[Ayr]]shire witnessed during the visit of US President Donald Trump, we could do worse than take a leaf from the playbook of America's can-do attitude to business, enterprise and opportunity. We have the resources, and we have the skill – we just need the political will to ensure potential becomes reality. Dr Marie Macklin CBE is a leading Scottish businesswoman and investor.
