ANTISOCIAL behaviour has not been taken seriously by successive UK governments since Sir Tony Blair, former communities secretary Lord Michael Gove has said.

'No-one's been tough on crime since Blair'

The ex-Tory minister criticised "pushback" during Lord David Cameron's coalition government, in which he served, against the so-called "respect agenda" driven by the New Labour government in the 2000s.

In an evidence session of the new cross-party Independent Commission on Community Cohesion, Lord Gove said the presence of antisocial behaviour was diminishing "pride in place" for communities.
