Sadiq Khan tells Met to conduct review of coronation policing and explain why Republic activists detained for so long – live

Six anti-monarchy protesters were detained on day of coronation but Met later admitted they regretted' their arrests

Rishi Sunak has recorded a clip for broadcasters in Southampton. Asked about the arrest of some anti-monarchy protesters at the coronation, for which the Met has now apologised, Sunak refused to criticise police for what they did.

Asked if the arrests made him feel uncomfortable, Sunak said the police were operationally independent of government". He went on:

They make the decisions on the ground in the way they see fit.

It wouldn't be right for me to interfere with their operational decisions, but it is right for the government to give the police the powers to tackle serious disruption.

With regard to protest, of course people have the right to protest freely but peacefully, but it is also right that people have the ability to go about their day-to-day lives without facing serious disruption.

What the government has done is give the police the powers that they need to tackle instances of serious disruption to people's lives.

Pharmacies in Wales have been able to prescribe certain medicines for a year now, so this is just the government stealing a Labour policy again. Why does the media happily report everyone Tory slur on the Welsh NHS but never point out the positives? As another example, there have been several stories in the Guardian recently about pregnant women being chased for prescription charges because they didn't do the correct paperwork, but no mention that this would not have happened in Wales, where all prescriptions are free!
