THE Tories are facing a backlash over plans to deploy undercover officers in bars and clubs in response to the death of Sarah Everard. 

Downing Street said on Monday that it will be taking a series of measures to improve security, including sending plain-clothes officers to patrol night clubs and bars.

Centre for Women’s Justice director Harriet Wistrich branded the plans “frankly bizarre” today, especially at a time when women’s trust in the police is low.
