How police let a registered sex offender murder and attack women

Same here. I just can't find the words to adequately express my horror.

I am London woman who has also lived elsewhere, and my experience is that the Met is particularly poor.

What frustrates me is that it doesn’t seem to be taken seriously by leadership or politics.

In fact it's often just dismissed as a far right talking point, especially by Sadiq Khan who has an oversight role of the Met.

Keir Starmer has strongly backed Khan’s record, and mentioned crime when he was recently awarded a peerage. It's often based on narrow metrics and ignores the fact women in London say they feel less safe, not more.

Are there any left-wing women’s groups, Labour women’s groups or others pushing for more action on violence against women and girls and better policing accountability?

I'm not party political, but realistically if any groups perceived as right speak out it seems to cement opinion that there isn't an issue here rather than help get support to tackle it.

What was the name of the judge who refused to issue the SOPO?

I struggle to understand why anyone accused of a violent offence is not held until trial.

A trial which takes place in days, not years.

I mean given the absolute horlicks the police and CPS managed to make when given years to do their job, it's hard to see how doing it quicker could make it worse.

RIP to all whose deaths could have been prevented in a country that chooses justice over politics.

One of the most upsetting and depressing things I've ever read.
