Teachers no longer get daily briefings of interactions between police and young people, either as victims or perpetrators, as well as them having witnessed domestic violence. Ms West grew gasps after telling how she sent two welfare staff to a teenage truant's home unaware he'd he been charged and released on bail over a blade-wielding attempted murder. Scotland Yard is being forced into substantial tough choices amid a 260 million budget shortfall.

I understand the concern caused by such incidents given differing perspectives on the balance between free speech and the risks of inciting violence in the real world. Most reasonable people would agree that genuine threats of physical violence against an identified person or group should be acted upon by officers. Such actions can and do have serious and violent real-world implications.

A Metropolitan Police volunteer officer has been found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting a child. James Bubb, who now identifies as a woman named Gwyn Samuels, groomed one of his two victims online before sexually assaulting her when she was just 12 years old. The 27-year-old, from Chesham in Buckinghamshire, was also found guilty of raping a woman he met online while posing as a 16-year-old girl.

Sam Haldane, defending, told the court his client claims he did not wipe the device. The barrister described Mr Flanagan-Clark, a father of two from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, as a "distinguished officer" of "previous unblemished record and as I understand it the youngest detective inspector within the country". He added the defendant has worked in policing across Westminster, Kensington, Hammersmith and Fulham, Barnet, Harrow and Hackney.

Ms Kilcoyne, who was 73, died after she was struck by a bus on Neasden Lane, Brent, in west London at 17.58pm on Sunday, August 17. Paramedics rushed to the scene of the incident where she was later pronounced dead. The Metropolitan Police said that no arrests have been made in relation to the incident and that the driver of the bus is cooperating with their investigations into the circumstances of the tragic incident.

A probe into the Metropolitan Police's handling of allegations against presenter Caroline Flack before her tragic death has been quietly closed by the police watchdog. The Love Island host was accused of assaulting her then-boyfriend, Lewis Burton, with a lamp at her flat in Islington, north London, in December 2019. The Crown Prosecution Service had initially chosen not to charge the 40-year-old star, but this was appealed by officers at the Met, and the decision was overturned.

"At some point during the encounter I said 'OK' because I did not want to anger the defendant... if you say no to something, he tends to get angry."
