Some of the footage circulating online from the vigil in Clapham is upsetting. I have asked the Metropolitan Police for a full report on what happened.
My thoughts remain with Sarah’s family and friends at this terrible time.

Last night in west London. Yet another video of police retreating from thugs. This seems to be happening more and more. The Met Police has subsequently confirmed that no arrests were made. Well, you can’t really arrest people if you keep backing away.
Yes, and once we're done with businesses, why don't we then campaign for black-only public services and amenities, like buses and schools and parks? Because this type of segregation would show just how far we've come in tackling racism. https://t.co/mAwWxKyqHK
We need some good news; we even need some good news from @UniofOxford - can't get better than this. Eight years after Taliban shot her in head for fighting for girls’ right to education, Malala really has earned that degree.
Let’s hope the thug who threw the missile at the police horse and caused the injuries to the policewoman has also been arrested and dealt with as quickly.
Three months into the pandemic, a UCL study finds 20% of all school children (2 million) are still doing less than an hour of schoolwork a day at home, or none at all. The average is 2.5 hours. Many well-funded private school kids are doing 6 hours. A generation in regression.
Yes, it was just a statue. And there was a good case for putting it in a museum. But now it's a TV programme. And it is a short step from this to the banning of a book. At that point, we become a fundamentally different society. Be warned. #SlipperySlope https://t.co/ikPIZEYT8L
Let’s have a commission looking at statues etc in London says #khan. Please,we are in the middle of a pandemic, TFL is on its knees, Businesses in London are desperate and yet you want to concentrate on statues. For goodness sake do your job properly this is just a distraction.
Lincoln's statue defaced with graffiti. President Lincoln, who fought a Civil War because he believed Black Lives Mattered. The ignorance is beyond parody.
