Tonight an Amazon delivery driver let himself into my home. It was lucky that I was in the right place to confront him immediately, but it shocked me and the question that keeps coming back to me is this: What if my wife or teenage daughter had been standing in my place? The footage is clear: the driver approaches the door, breathing heavily, he checks the handle, and pushes his way inside. I don’t know what his intentions were, and that is exactly the point. I contacted the police. Their exact words were: “Trespass is a civil matter. There’s nothing we can do.” A senior officer on shift confirmed it. So let’s be absolutely honest with the public: Under current law, if a stranger walks into your house, the police may not attend. At a time when delivery companies are hiring thousands of temporary drivers, Who is turning up at our doors? What level of risk are families being exposed to? And most critically: What message does this legal loophole send to someone with bad intentions? Try your luck. If the homeowner scares you off, just walk away. The police won’t pursue you. Try again. This is utterly unacceptable. I will raise this in Parliament. I will not wait and risk someone being harmed before action is taken. If the law fails to protect people in their own homes, then the law must change.
