The psychologist wrote that Mr Butler found it "difficult to control his violence when he felt humiliated" and "historically would become angry and punch people".

In his report, he wrote: "He (Mr Butler) stated that he had in the past hoped that situations might present themselves where he could engage in violence."

The Labour Party is set to announce its candidate for the Tooting by-election.

Sadiq Khan stood down from the position after he won the vote to become London mayor.

The Tories are said to believe they have a chance of winning the seat as Mr Khan only had a majority of 2,842 when he won back in 2015.

The vote takes place on 16 June, one week before the EU referendum.
