“I wouldn’t have wanted to see a vigil in memory of Sarah end with those scenes” - Metropolit­an Police Commission­er Dame Cressida Dick after clashes between police and crowds who gathered on Clapham Common on Saturday night to remember Sarah Everard.

“I asked the commission­er and deputy commission­er to give me an explanatio­n of the events and the days leading up to them. I am not satisfied with the explanatio­n they have provided” - London mayor Sadiq Khan.

“I think we were shocked and really, really sad and to see videos of policemen handling women at a vigil about violence against women by men” - Jamie Klingler, who helped create the viral Reclaim These Streets campaign.

“We are closely reviewing reports but, given the large number of doses administer­ed and the frequency at which blood clots can occur naturally, the evidence available does not suggest the vaccine is the cause” - The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency after Ireland suspended use of the AstraZenec­a vaccine on Sunday following reports of serious clotting in adults in Norway which left four people in hospital.

“This had been going on before the pandemic, but unfortunat­ely the rates will always be higher because you are leaving people with their thoughts, you are taking away jobs, you are losing money, families are apart from one another” - Roman Kemp, who has made a documentar­y for the BBC about mental health and suicide in young men following the death of his friend Joe Lyons.
