1039: Former EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella, whose brother Ben was stabbed to death in London in 2008, is giving her support to the Conservatives. She's appearing alongside David Cameron at a press conference in south London today. She says she wants a party in power that will make the streets safer and get tough on knife crime. "I think that David and the Conservatives will do that," she says. Ms Kinsella has campaigned on youth violence since her brother's death and has previously appeared on platforms with Gordon Brown.
1045: David Cameron says there is a danger that we become almost immune to youth violence. He tells his audience in Vauxhall: "As our sensitivity gets coarsened, we get a step further away from what it is to be civilised." He says there has "always been violence, always been evil," but there is something about the "depravity" of crimes today - like the murder of Sofyen Belamouadden in his school uniform at London's Victoria Station - that reveals a fundamental problem in our society.
