Show Notes
Edinburgh Labour MP Scott Arthur is advocating for joint efforts between Scottish and UK governments to combat knife crime, following a series of stabbings in his constituency. With no immediate solution in sight, Arthur emphasizes the need for prevention strategies, citing the leading role of knife crime in violent deaths in Scotland. He also highlights the work of campaigner Lisa Petrie, who is pushing for emergency bleed kits and better knife controls. Despite overall violence declining, Arthur stresses the urgency to address this persistent issue through shared resources, early interventions, and cross-border policing.
