Unmesh Desai AM: I have 20 seconds to make two quick points, Mr Mayor. Firstly, in 2016, the PCC did a report about intimidation in Tower Hamlets during the local government elections.

They have been pushing for this for quite a while now and I do hope that the Mayor is taking account of the family’s asks on this particular type of public awareness.
