This was the scene on The Mall this morning:

@bphillipsonMP Since you post those allegations above a picture of me @bphillipsonMP , could you just give some clarity as to which of them you are saying applies to me? Or is it all of them? Thanks.
Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Colin Sutton, has contributed £140,000 to help fund extra police resource over the next two years in the market town of Thetford.
The decision follows a period of heightened tensions and protests in Thetford following the announcement that RAF Barnham was being considered by the Home Office as a site for large scale asylum accommodation.
In response to recent disorder, Breckland Council invested Home Office funding in an additional police officer in Thetford, with Norfolk's Police and Crime Commissioner agreeing to fund a further officer for the area for two years to help maintain increased police visibility.

@HidingSmith@MentalHealthCop@WMPolice The officers who spend hours in A&E aren’t trained for it either but have to be there awaiting somebody who is. I think it is at least arguable that a modern custody suite is just as suitable as an A&E waiting area?
@DannyShawNews@LBC A rape offence charged today is unlikely to get to trial until 2030. It is shameful for victims, witnesses and suspects. This assessment is just absurd.
🚨SHOCKING: Last week I told Labour on Politics Live that their tagging plans wouldn't keep victims safe.
Now the Met Commissioner himself reveals they're re-arresting 2 or 3 early release prisoners a week and recording over 100 tag breaches a day.
So many victims will be terrified to hear that.
My main criticism of the early release scheme, aside from the fact it was the wrong way to create prison capacity in any event, was that no qualitative assessment of the risk posed by individual prisoners was undertaken. Simply an exercise in arithmetic - how long have they served?
Hence those who will inevitably reoffend are being set free amongst us. As in this case, evidenced by this extraordinary letter from a senior police officer.
Those of us from the era get fewer as each year passes but the @metpoliceuk@MPSHaringey always turn out in force.
Keith Blakelock and the sacrifice he made will never be forgotten.
At this stage we are witnessing the Labour government and police helping facilitate mass law-breaking by mostly young men arriving on our South Coast.
The State itself is enabling a breakdown in the Rule of Law, and using the awesomeness of the power at their disposal to do it.
We are through the looking glass now. Police have put an entire British town under a Section 34 dispersal order (meaning they can even order residents to leave and not return) just so they can import a boat full of illegal immigrants.
Truth is, my predecessor, elected for @UKLabour, made cuts to funding for a number of charities involved in supporting domestic abuse victims, including the Sue Lambert Trust. That was anathema to me, I have reinstated the funding and in some cases will be able to extend it. The Sue Lambert CEO will be getting a letter in the next day or two explaining this. Domestic Abuse is one on my priorities and I will support its victims as much as I can.
Vital words from @CommissionerDA. But a public health model requires sustained funding. @colinsutton the @NorfolkPCC wants the Sue Lambert Trust to turn away survivors seeking our only specialist, trauma-informed healing. Stop the cuts, sign the petition: https://t.co/aXX6hrE7Hu

🚨 HIGH PRAISE FOR NEW BOOK ON JOE BUGNER
📣 “It is rare to come across a sports biography written by an author so immersed in their subject that it takes the reader on a journey deep into what it means to be human, using his subject’s own personal struggles as template.
🥊 “This is the feat achieved by David Tossell with his recently published biography of iconic British heavyweight, Joe Bugner. Titled The Bugner Identity, the book unpacks Bugner’s legacy as one of the best heavyweights to ever represent Britain on the world stage.”
