He said May had been warned by the police officer’s staff association, the Police Federation, over the impact of cuts to officer numbers, and quoted her accusation in May 2015 that officers were “crying wolf”, in the way they expressed concerns.

The BBC showed a photograph of two possible London attackers shot by police, one of whom had canisters strapped to his body.

London police said officers killed the attackers within eight minutes of arriving at the scene. The four women, whose faces were covered as they left the building, were escorted by officers into the back of two waiting police vans and then driven away.

Sky News is reporting the raided address was linked to one of the attackers killed by police, implying that police know the identity of at least one of the attackers.

Of those five, one is the sort of thing you can imagine a president not named Donald Trump saying in the wake of a major terrorism event like the one in London; that’s the second one Saurday night in which he pledges to help London in whatever way they need it and insists America stands with them.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan Police head of counterterrorism, said that while police believe all the attackers were killed, the investigation is expanding.

Police said seven people were killed and at least 48 others were wounded, some critically, before officers shot and killed the three suspected assailants.

Vowls also saw people pelting the attackers, and said he joined in himself.

The attack came just a night before a benefit concert in Manchester held by pop singer Ariana Grande and others to pay tribute to the 22 people, including children, who died when suicide bomber Salman Abedi blew himself up at the end of her concert less than two weeks ago. “He stabbed another man in the back, and then he ran out of the restaurant”.

Police say they are working with Royal Naval Lifeboat Institution to evacuate public from the London Bridge incident.

Campion added: “Our attitude to security needs to change and I think slowly it is”. Following shootings in an Orlando nightclub that left 49 people dead, Trump offered this: “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don’t want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance”. Vowles said. “I was just trying to get their attention by throwing things at them …”
