Good morning – and sorry to have emailed you twice in the space of an hour – there were some technical issues and the newsletter was sent out with yesterday’s subject line.

The fatal shooting of Chris Kaba by the Metropolitan police last week has triggered an outpouring of grief and rage. Two police cars chased after the 24-year-old black musician and expectant father and cornered his car. Once he was blocked in, a specialist firearms officer reportedly fired a shot through the driver’s side of the windscreen. Kaba was declared dead two hours later. He was found to be unarmed.
