An ex-Met Police commander has responded to a report by the Independent Police Complaints Commission which said he would have had to answer a case for misconduct after meeting an undercover police officer during the Stephen Lawrence inquiry.

Richard Walton said: “It has taken the IPCC two years to investigate a single meeting I attended as a sergeant 18 years ago.

“The report makes clear that no information was passed to me about either the Lawrence family or its campaign."

Mr Walton added: “In making its finding the IPCC has failed to understand racist crime and violent public disorder in London in 1998.

“The public have a right to be protected from groups who commit serious violent disorder. I have always made that my priority.”

Home Office enforcement officers, assisted by the Met, have carried out an immigration inspection of "Yoda" living statues in Trafalgar Square.

A man is facing life behind bars for battering a care worker to death because she asked him to turn down the volume as he watched a film. 

Michael Meanza, 47, had been living in mental health accommodation in Acton, west London, for three months before he bludgeoned Jenny Foote, 38, over the head and face with a heavy fire extinguisher last July.

He had admitted manslaughter and denied murder because of his anger issues, but an Old Bailey jury found him guilty of the more serious charge.

Answering a question on the performance of Southern, Southeastern and Thameslink, Transport Minister Lord Ahmad said: "Customers on these parts of the rail network need to see improved services." 

He said these companies "have got to do much better" but stopped short of saying the government would consider terminating their franchises early.

Commuters using Southeastern trains are facing "meltdown" due to "constantly delayed" services and a situation that has "deteriorated quite significantly" since Christmas, a Labour MP has claimed. 

Clive Efford said he had been bombarded with angry messages and complaints from constituents about the "appalling" level of service, with one saying that in 40 years it was the "worst it has ever been". 

Conservative MP for Dartford, Gareth Johnson, agreed: "The Labour Party may be divided over leadership, the Conservative Party over Europe, but what unites us all is Southeastern. 

"I think it's fair to say that their service has deteriorated of late."
