In Westminster: Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed there are "serious questions" in the wake of Nowak's death, while condemning "unacceptable" attacks on police. Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch urged for it to be "a wake up call".

Reform UK's Nigel Farage described the incident as "two-tier policing", while Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said Nowak's murder must not be "a political football". Green MP Sian Berry said her party rejects attempts to "scapegoat the entire Sikh community".

In Southampton: The Hampshire Police Chief Constable has told the BBC the force is "sorry for handcuffing and arresting Henry", calling the incident "an absolute tragedy" - but condemned overnight disorder as "disgraceful".

Local residents have spoken of "bricks being thrown" at "absolutely insane" protests on Monday night, while MP Satvir Kaur said they have "made people scared".

And Southampton council has said people commenting from outside the city "should take care not to use language that could inflame tensions".

In the wider policing community: The independent police watchdog said its investigation into the Nowak incident "remains ongoing".

On the controversy surrounding the "Police Anti-Racism Commitment", Policing Minister Sarah Jones said the document "feels like it's not right", but stressed it laid out "values" and wasn't used for training.

The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) has announced it will look into this, and is "listening to legitimate concerns about how some of these commitments are worded or phrased".
