London attack: Theresa May defends her record on police funding – latest updates London attack: Corbyn says May should resign over police funding record – latest updates

Here is the quote where Jeremy Corbyn said Theresa May should resign over police cuts. Asked in an ITV interview if he supported calls for her to resign, he replied:
Indeed I would, because there’s been calls made by a lot of very responsible people on this who are very worried that she was at the Home Office for all this time, presided over these cuts in police numbers and is now saying that we have a problem - yes, we do have a problem, we should never have cut the police numbers.
But calling for a serving prime minister to resign three days before polling day may not seem particularly realistic and, when he was asked about May resigning for a second time, Corbyn said the election might be a better way of removing her. He said:
We’ve got an election on Thursday and that’s perhaps the best opportunity to deal with it.

A neighbour of one of the suspected attackers said he saw the van used in the attack outside a block of flats in Barking, east London, on Friday – and again on Saturday afternoon.
Michael Mimbo, 25, said he had known the man who was pictured in an Arsenal top after he had been shot dead by police in London Bridge for three years.
“I saw him with the van on Friday,” said Mimbo, who lived next to the attacker’s flat in the Elizabeth Fry block.
“He had parked it right outside the flats and it was blocking the road. Cars couldn’t get past and there was a bit of aggro.”
Mimbo identified the van from an online picture and said several neighbours had seen it being driven at speed the wrong way up a one-way street outside the flats on Saturday afternoon.
“There are lots of kids play round here so people were pretty cross.” He said he went out into the street at half time in the Champions League final – about 8.30pm – and the van had gone.”
But I saw his red car being parked up as I walked past although I couldn’t see who was in it.”

Q: Do you accept that you were wrong to accuse those who criticised the police cuts of “crying wolf”. Do you accept that that was wrong, and would you reverse police cuts?
May says she has already addressed this. She repeats the points made earlier. See 11.18am.
Q: [From the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg] On your watch the number of police officers and armed police officers fell, and control orders were abandoned. Will you reverse those decisions?
May says control orders were being knocked down in the courts. The government has given more powers to the police, she says.
She says an extra 1,500 armed officers are being hired. But it is not just about resources; it is about powers.
She repeats the point about supporting shoot-to-kill.

But the government has to respond to the changing threat, she says. That is why she wants further measures on this.
Q: Will you bring back control orders?
May says Tpims, which replaced control orders, have been enhanced.
And the government has given the police new powers, for example in relation to stopping terror suspects travelling abroad.
Q; Do you regret cutting community policy budgets?
May repeats the point about Labour backing police cuts in 2015. See 11.18am.
Q: We have seen headlines saying the UK is “reeling” in foreign papers. Is that right?

What we know so far
The terrorist threat level remains at severe as police continue to raid properties in east London in connection with Saturday’s attack which left seven people dead and 21 people in a critical condition. The identities of three suspect attackers, who shot dead in Borough Market, will be released as soon as operationally possible, according to police.
Isis has claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack, although this has not been verified and details of the claim were sketchy. In a statement published late on Sunday by the Amaq news agency, which usually carries its claims, it said: “A detachment of Islamic State fighters executed yesterday’s London attack.
An Irish identity card was reportedly found on one of the three attackers. Metropolitan Police commissioner Cressida Dick said that there was “an international dimension” to the changing terrorist threat facing the UK, but the majority of recent attacks and plots have been domestic in focus.
Eleven people remain in custody as police continue to search property in east London. One man was seen being led away as police continue to search a property in Dagenham, east London. Police also searched properties in Newham and Barking after early morning raids on Monday.
The first known victim of the attack was named as Christine Archibald from Castlegar, Canada. In a statement, her family said: “We grieve the loss of our beautiful, loving daughter and sister. She had room in her heart for everyone and believed strongly that every person was to be valued and respected.”
A French man was also among those killed, according to the French foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian. A 39-year-old Spanish man is among those missing.
Four police officers were injured in the attack, including two on-duty Metropolitan officers. One of those injured was a British Transport officer, who was stabbed in the head as he he tried to foil the attack. Another was an off-duty Met officer, who remains in hospital in a serious condition.
Questions have been asked about how much police and the intelligence services knew about the three men who carried out the attack. One neighbour told the Guardian she had reported the man to police two years ago after fears he was attempting to radicalise children.
Police cordons around London Bridge railway station were lifted earlier than planned. The bridge itself was open to traffic and pedestrians. New barriers have been erected on Westminster bridge to separate pedestrians from vehicles.

May's Q&A
Theresa May is now taking questions.
Q: Cressida Dick said this morning we had to look at the case for more police officers. Do you agree, and were you wrong to cut numbers.
May reply is almost word for word the same as it was when she was asked this earlier. See 11.18am.
May says she supports “absolutely” shoot to kill. We saw how important that was on Saturday night, she said.
(Corbyn has had to clarify his stance on this, but insisted last night he did support the use of lethal force in these circumstances.)

Theresa May is still speaking.
She says Corbyn would throw away all the work the government has done on Brexit. He would tear up the government’s white paper, and we do not know if he would try to stay in the customs union, she says.
And she says he would accept any deal from the EU, however bad it was.
The bureaucrats in Brussels would assume Christmas had come early if he adopted this approach, she says.
May turns to the economy. She wants a strong economy, but that is not the limit of her ambition, she says. She says she wants an economy that works for everyone.
Punishing businesses with higher taxes is not leadership but an abdication of leadership, she says. She says it would be bad for the economy.
And Labour would raise the tax burden, she says, citing the IFS analysis. She says a Conservative government would keep taxes low.
Turning to security, she says Corbyn is opposed to Trident, has boasted of opposing terror laws and opposes shoot-to-kill (a claim Corbyn sought to refute in his speech last night.)
She says, as the threat from Islamism evolves, we must do more to confront it.
She is now echoing much of what she said in her Number 10 statement yesterday.

One of the attackers had Irish identity card
Police in Ireland are holding a special security meeting after it emerged that one of the London attackers lived in Ireland for a time, the Irish broadcaster RTE reports.
Gardaí have confirmed that an Irish identity card was found on one of the three attackers shot dead by police in London.
He was not however known to the gardaí here and did not come to their attention in relation to any crime or security issues.
The man is believed to have been of Moroccan origin and officers at the Garda National Immigration Bureau are checking records to establish his residency and marital status while he was living here.
It is believed the Moroccan man was married to a woman from Scotland and lived in Dublin while in Ireland.

May dismisses claims police are underfunded
Cressida Dick, the commissioner of the Metropolitan police, has given at least two interviews this morning. Asked about police cuts, she said that “any police leader would always want more resources” but that, ahead of the election, she did not want to get into a political argument about this.
In the clip recorded for broadcasters, the reporter mentioned Dick’s comments and then asked Theresa May if she regretted presiding over cuts that saw police numbers fall by 20,000. May replied:
The commissioner of the Metropolitan police has said that the Met is well resourced, and they are, and that they have very powerful counter-terrorism capabilities, and they do. We have protected counter-terrorism policing budgets. We have also provided funding for an increase in the number of armed police officers. Since 2015 we have protected overall police budgets, and that’s despite the fact that Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party in the House of Commons suggested that police budgets could be cut.
But it’s also about the powers that we give to the police. We have given increased powers to the police to be able to deal with terrorists, powers which Jeremy Corbyn has boasted he has always opposed.
May dismissed claims that the police are underfunded. She said that counter-terrorism budgets had been protected, that overall police budgets have been protected since 2015 and that the number of armed officers is increasing.
She claimed that Labour under Jeremy Corbyn supported police cuts.
Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party in the House of Commons suggested that police budgets could be cut.
The Tories justify this claim by citing something Andy Burnham, then shadow home secretary, said in a speech 30 September 2015, shortly after Corbyn became Labour leader. Burnham said: “Of course, savings can be found. The police say 5% to 10% over the parliament is just about do-able.” But now the Labour party is going into the election with a manifesto proposing hiring 10,000 more police officers.
She claimed Corbyn had always opposed anti-terror legislation.
We have given increased powers to the police to be able to deal with terrorists, powers which Jeremy Corbyn has boasted he has always opposed.
This is a reference to Corbyn saying in 2011: “I’ve been involved in opposing anti-terror legislation ever since I first went into parliament in 1983.”

Hospitals have increased security measures in the aftermath of the terror attack.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS foundation trust – which runs Guy’s hospital, situated in London Bridge and nearby St Thomas’ hospital – said it was operating “with enhanced security”.
Our services are running as usual today but we have enhanced security. Please bring appointment letters and ID, if possible. pic.twitter.com/oHvD0kRu5v
Patients attending appointments at Guy’s or St Thomas’ hospitals were also reminded to bring photo identification with them to appointments.
In a statement on its website, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS foundation trust said: “We are operating with enhanced security, but services are running as normal. Please attend appointments as planned, but bring your appointment letter and photo ID. Allow more time to travel.”
The NHS trust was one of five across the capital which treated victims of the attack. Nine patients were taken to the emergency department of St Thomas’ hospital – which is situated on the south side of Westminster Bridge, where another terror attack took place in March.
Meanwhile, Imperial College Healthcare NHS trust urged patients and visitors to be vigilant.
In a statement on its website, the trust said: “Following the incidents at London Bridge and Borough Market, our own security team will be stepping up their presence on our campuses.
“Although there is no reason to suspect any specific threat to our institution or other universities, due to the nature of our openness and accessibility we would urge everyone to remain vigilant and to immediately report anything suspicious to security.”
One victim was taken to St Mary’s hospital in Paddington, which is run by Imperial.

May defends her record over police funding
Theresa May has recorded a clip for broadcasters which has just been shown on Sky and BBC News.
She says the police have identified all the attackers. She says 11 people are in custody.
The threat level remains at severe, she says.
The police are working to establish the identity of all of those killed, she says.
The victims were from different countries. This was an attack not just on London and the UK, but on the free world, she says.
She says the heroism of the police and the emergency services was extraordinary.
Q: Cressida Dick, the Met police commissioner, has said it would be appropriate to look at police resources. Do you regret cutting police numbers?
May says Dick has said she has the resources she needs.
She says the government has protected police spending since 2015.
Labour opposed extra spending on the police, she says.
And she says Jeremy Corbyn has opposed giving new powers to the police.
