This is appalling. If everyone who felt passionately about a cause started smashing up services others rely on, we would have real problems. Investigating the criminal damage & suspects will now be diverting officers who might otherwise be out keeping local communities safe.

2 elements worry me; 1st people screaming at officers a suspect cannot breathe (when there appears no basis for it), & 2nd a failure to help officers who r struggling with a suspect & videoing instead. It’s right there is scrutiny of officer actions, but public need to help too.

Great work by colleagues reacting very quickly & decisively to possible threat to the parade. When we are all so alert to security risks it’s so irresponsible not only to try to disrupt the parade, but also selfish, when so many 000’s of members of public are here to enjoy it.

@LBC @LBCNews I have been updated on this protest and the disruption it is now causing. We have officers already on scene who will move quickly to engage & resolve. Delaying a fire appliance on emergency call is reckless, potentially putting lives at risk. @MetPoliceEvents @KarenFindlayMPS

UPDATE: Extinction Rebellion demonstrations - Metropolitan Police - really clear update from the command team......dealing with these protests is hard work, resource intensive & is diverting many officers from core duties to keep everyone in London safe

Reading overnight handovers, some fabulous work from @MPSRTPC Safer Transport Teams. Keen to find out more on reports STT operations have recovered a handgun, 2 machetes, a sword, hundreds of bags cannabis, 24 stolen cars and £14k stolen goods in last 3 weeks - Amazing work 👏👏

Hugely important - there are still a small minority placing all Londoners at risk by breaching the current regulations & spreading the virus. We will take enforcement action where needed, (supporting the vast majority in London sticking to the rules), to keep everyone safe.

Over the last few weeks police officers from @MetPoliceUK have been supporting #TeamLAS medics and driving some of our ambulances. Hear from one officer, Sgt James Horsefield, on why he wanted to take part:

@charlotterlynch Hi Charlotte, as I think you will know, we are not going to discuss specifics of intelligence here. We have been clear re concern there were some intent on committing crime (not protest). There is now an ongoing investigation. It’s also v clear protest wasn’t prohibited.

To be clear - having checked, this wasn’t an escaped Lion, in which case 999 would have been appropriate - this was someone calling the police emergency line to report a domestic cat following them!!!

Reports that JSO activists have scaled motorway gantries in @EssexPoliceUK @SurreyPolice & @HertsPolice areas, this irresponsible action / crime will bring misery to thousands of commuters & businesses. @MetPoliceEvents will support other SE forces in any way needed to resolve.
