Karen Bradley has been described as the "Tory Diane Abbott" after refusing to answer Piers Morgan when he asked her about police cuts in the wake of the London Bridge terror attack.

She said on Good Morning Britain "this is not a pub quiz" when asked whether there was a reduction of armed police on Britain's streets.

When asked whether police budgets had been slashed, she hit back by saying "I don't think it is fair to say there has been a slashing of anything".

However, she refused to give numbers or say whether there had been a reduction.
