Read our privacy policy London mayor Sadiq Khan has expressed anger at Boris Johnson's government over its failure to prevent a "foreseeable and preventable" terror attack in Streatham. In the wake of the attack, the prime minister said he will announce plans later on Monday for "fundamental changes to the system for dealing with those convicted of terrorism offences". "These were men convicted of terrorist related offences and I have been frustrated for some time about changes to the law in 2012 which took away from judges the power they used to have to give a sentence to protect the public - an indeterminate sentence - and to make sure people weren't released unless we knew they were no longer a danger." Speaking on Sunday night, Mr Johnson said: "Following the awful events at Fishmonger’s Hall, we have moved quickly to introduce a package of measures to strengthen every element of our response to terrorism – including longer prison sentences and more money for the police.
