We're going to bring our live coverage to end now.

There is a little over a week of campaigning left ahead of the general election - but the London Bridge attack has dominated most of the political discussion today.

Here's what has happened:-

• The two people killed in Friday's attack were formally named by police as Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones - their families issued tributes
• Both were former post-graduate students at the University of Cambridge's Institute of Criminology and involved in its Learning Together prisoner rehabilitation programme
• Cambridge's vice chancellor says he was "devastated" that staff and alumni were among the victims of Usman Khan, who attacked people at a Learning Together event in the City of London
• Boris Johnson says the cases of 74 people jailed for terrorism offences and released early - like Khan - will be examined and orders a review of licence conditions
• Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn calls for an inquiry into "everything surrounding" the attacker but warns against "knee-jerk legislation"
• Deputy Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey uses an interview to accuse the PM of “politicising” Friday’s attack

Thank you for reading. Remember our news story will continue to be updated with the latest developments in this story.

In a post on Facebook, the University of Cambridge Graduates Union says it is "deeply saddened" at the deaths of Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones, who were "much-admired members of our community".

A minute's silence will be held at 11:00 GMT on Monday to remember Jack and Saskia, it adds.

A vigil will also take place at 11:00 GMT on Monday in Guildhall Yard in the City of London to pay tribute to those affected by the attack, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced.

Dr Olivia Smith, a lecturer in criminology and social policy at Loughborough University, says she knew Saskia Jones as "one of those students who makes you proud to be in this job".

Writing on Twitter, Dr Smith adds Saskia's dissertation was "so good that I cried with pride when marking it".

Usman Khan's murderous rampage has thrown the spotlight on the way in which he was sentenced and how his sentence was reviewed and changed by the Court of Appeal.

It has also led to claims and counter claims by Labour and the Conservatives over who was to blame for a sentencing regime which allowed Khan's automatic release with its tragic consequences.

Sentencing is massively complex, even for lawyers and judges.

So, let's try and pick a way through the thicket of sentencing laws involved in this case and understand what happened.

The boss of Fishmongers' Hall, where the attack is thought to have started during a prisoner rehabilitation conference, has been talking about the "nightmare" incident.

Toby Williamson, the chief executive of the Fishmongers' company, was not present at the time, but has spoken to his staff about the moment when Usman Khan began his attack.

He praised the efforts of his staff, who acted quickly to try and stop Khan and protect others inside the building.

He says polish chef Lukasz and another staff member, Andy, believed at that moment a bomb could be involved, but still "used fire extinguishers, chairs and Narwhal tusks ripped off the wall" to take the fight back to Khan, which later spilled out onto the street on London Bridge.

"They are two of the most humble people you would know. They would have used their fists if they had to."

The director of the Institute of Criminology at Cambridge University, where both victims had studied has paid tribute to Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt.

Prof Loraine R Gelsthorpe says: "Saskia's warm disposition and extraordinary intellectual creativity was combined with a strong belief that people who have committed criminal offences should have opportunities for rehabilitation."

She adds Ms Jones had a "determination to make an enduring and positive impact on society in everything she did" and colleagues were "inspired by her determination to push towards the good".

Speaking about Mr Merritt, Prof Gelsthorpe says: "All of us at the Institute will miss Jack's quiet humour and rigorous intellect.

"His determined belief in rehabilitation inspired him to join the institute as a staff member to work in the Learning Together research team after completing his MPhil in Criminology in 2017.

"Jack's passion for social and criminal justice was infectious. He was deeply creatively and courageously engaged with the world, advocating for a politics of love. He worked tirelessly in dark places to pull towards the light."

Tributes are being paid to Saskia Jones, 23, who has been named as the second victim of Friday's stabbing attack at London Bridge.

Sebastian LeFeuvre describes Saskia as a "beautiful person and soul", adding the world "is a darker place without her".

Another friend, Sophie Ryder, says Saskia was "one of the wittiest, most caring people".

In a public post on Facebook, she adds "RIP my friend."

Nick Thomas-Symonds, Labour's shadow security minister, says the length of a prison sentence is irrelevant and the focus needs to be on rehabilitation and supervision once a prisoner is released.

"Whether someone is released after five years, eight years, 11 years, 14 years, they will be released at some point and incidentally there are already life sentences in place in the most serious of cases," he tells the BBC.

"But where people are released, what we need to absolutely ensure is that, first of all, rehabilitation work has happened in prison, but secondly that we have a properly funded, supervisory regime for when they are released, to ensure we minimise the possibility of awful events happening like this again."

Further photographs of the two victims - Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, - have been released by the Met Police.

Both were graduates of the University of Cambridge and involved in its Learning Together prisoner rehabilitation programme – Jack as a co-ordinator and Saskia as a volunteer.

The family of Saskia Jones, who has been named as the second victim of the London Bridge terror attack, pay tribute to her as a "positive influence at the centre of many people's lives".

In a statement released by the Metropolitan Police, they say "she had a wonderful sense of mischievous fun and was generous to the point of always wanting to see the best in all people".

“She was intent on living life to the full and had a wonderful thirst for knowledge, enabling her to be the best she could be."

They add she had "a great passion" for helping victims of criminal injustice, which led her to recently apply for the police graduate recruitment programme, to specialise in victim support.

They add:“This is an extremely painful time for the family.

"Saskia will leave a huge void in our lives and we would request that our privacy is fully respected.”

The family of Jack Merritt has also issued a statement through the Met Police.

In it the family say "we know Jack would not want this terrible, isolated incident to be used as a pretext by the government for introducing even more draconian sentences on prisoners, or for detaining people in prison for longer than necessary".

The statement says: "Our beautiful, talented boy, died doing what he loved, surrounded by people he loved and who loved him. He lit up our lives and the lives of his many friends and colleagues, and we will miss him terribly.

“Jack lived his principles; he believed in redemption and rehabilitation, not revenge, and he always took the side of the underdog.

"Jack was an intelligent, thoughtful and empathetic person who was looking forward to building a future with his girlfriend, Leanne, and making a career helping people in the criminal justice system."

The second victim of the London Bridge terror attack is named by the Metropolitan Police as Saskia Jones, 23, from Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.

Two people who attended the church service in Jack Merritt's hometown of Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, have told the BBC that they used to babysit him when he was a child.

Ken and Dawn Marr, who knew Mr Merritt his whole life, described him as a "bright boy who loved to read".

Ms Marr said: “I couldn’t believe it – it was the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. It’s just awful.”

Church services were held in Jack Merritt's hometown of Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, this morning.

Rev Lynda Davies, vicar at All Saints Church, tells the BBC that some of those who attended the services knew Mr Merritt, who was one of two people killed in the attack.

“We tend to think these tragic situations happen to other people and when it’s one of your own it brings home to people how close it can be.

"I think people are devastated, those who knew Jack, watched him grow from a boy to a man," she says.

Messages of support for the 25-year-old's parents have been left in a book of condolences.

“People do want to come together to express their support and prayers for the family and I think the church is a great environment to do that in,” she adds.

People have gathered to pay their respects to the two people killed and those injured during Friday's stabbing attack at London Bridge.

Messages and floral tributes have been laid close to the scene of the incident.

The victims have been named as Cambridge university graduate and worker, Jack Merritt, 25, and a female former student of the university who is yet to be identified.

A meting of the government's Cobra emergency committee has taken place, Downing Street says.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been updated by security officials on the investigation into Friday's attack in London Bridge, the Number 10 spokesman added.

The Cambridge vice-chancellor goes on to reject reports that attacker Usman Khan had been accepted onto an undergraduate course at the university.

Usman Khan had been helped by the university's prisoner rehabilitation programme.

But asked about speculation he could become a student, Prof Stephen J Toope says: "It's wrong, he had not been accepted into any course. In fact he had not completed any application for a course."

The vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge says "now is not the best time to be trying to formulate public policy" on the early release of prisoners.

He was speaking amid a row between the Tories and Labour over the timing of the introduction of the laws that allowed attacker Usman Khan to be released from prison last year.

Asked about the debate, Prof Stephen J Toope says: "Frankly I'm not a politician."

He says he is thinking about the grieving families and the injured recovering in hospital.

"This is an attack on our community and it was intended as such," the vice-chancellor says.

"It was meant to produce a form of terror and sadness and it's clearly done that... it's made people very very sad,"

The Andrew Marr Show

Missed this morning's interview with the prime minister on the Andrew Marr Show?

You can catch up with the programme here on BBC iPlayer.

Andrew Marr's other guests were shadow attorney general Shami Chakrabarti, Lib Dem election candidate Chuka Umunna and Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg.

Cambridge's vice-chancellor says Jack Merritt - who was killed at London Bridge on Friday - "really believed" the work he was doing for the university's programme to help prisoners rehabilitate was "fundamental for the future of our society".

"It's always difficult to be working with populations that in some senses are not always very well regarded in society - people who've been convicted of offences," Prof Stephen J Toope says.

"But the whole purpose of the programme is to try to ensure that people who have been convicted will be given educational opportunities that will allow them to better integrate into society when they're released."

Asked whether there was an "awful irony" that Jack Merritt was trying to build bridges with offenders when he was killed, the vice-chancellor replied: "Of course, that's the greatest tragedy of all."
