UK Prime Minister Theresa May is coming under increased pressure ahead of the general election, June 8, amid growing criticism of her oversight of police force cutbacks when she was interior minister, in the wake of the London attacks, with reports that morale among the police and security services is “pretty damn low,” Sputnik has been told.

May has come in for severe criticism of cutback in the police service in Britain, during her tenure as home secretary 2010-2016. More than 20,000 officers have been cut from UK police forces, which many say has reduced the effectiveness of law enforcement in the fight against terrorism.

“In terms of the cuts that were made, the chickens have come home to roost for her. All things considering, the police service have done a phenomenal job, certainly, in their response to the attack on London Bridge and Borough Market,” UK security expert Will Geddes, founder of ICP Group, told Sputnik.

“But, having said that, it is not without our resources being stretched to the ultimate limit. There is an issue in terms of where we go from here — and certainly in the wake of the general election [due June 8]. Theresa May is questionable about her capabilities as prime minister.”
