just for example, you see sadiq khan, who's the mayor of london, immediately criticizing the chief oflice. he is also the police and crime commissioner for london who sets the priorities for the police. and nowhere is the combating of violence against women and girls an explicit priority. nowhere are the sportupports th are needed for women that are the victims of sexual violence, they are not statutory. and they should be. and we're calling for at a national level this violence against women and girls to be added to the list of so-called national threats, which would mean that finally it got the kind of resourcing and attention it has always deserved. you know, again, this is one of these things. it's seen as a problem for women and for women to solve. and yet violence is overwhelmingly by men, and people who seek to minimize it tend to point out that more men get murdered. well, yes, it's a problem for men too. male violence is a problem, and it is a soluble problem, but only if it gets the attention that it deserves and only if it is understood as a political priority and that this

however, the mayor of london, sadiq khan, is calling for the inspectorate to conduct a "full independenton" into the events. demonstrators have this afternoon gathered at new scotland yard and parliament square to protest against the police�*s handling of last night's vigil and what they describe as "police brutality". labour leader sir keir starmer said the commissioner should not quit, but condemned the policing on saturday as "wrong". i don't think cressida dick should resign. we need to see the reports that have now been called for. but more than that, this is a bigger issue. all of the concerns, all of the problems with violence against women and girls have been there for a very, very long time. this week in parliament we start a policing bill, 300 or so pages, i70—something clauses, and almost nothing, almost nothing if you can believe it, on violence against women and girls. it's a gaping hole in this bill. it's why we will be voting against it, and a complete missed opportunity by the government. in the past few minutes we've been hearing from the met police commissioner, cressid
