Supt Davies told a panel at police headquarters in Llangunnor, Carmarthenshire, on Monday that he had “no knowledge” women claimants had dubbed him "the octopus".

“I spoke to Leanne about four or five weeks ago, and I was telling her how much Poppy loved her class,” she said, adding that the stories of Leanne’s efforts to protect the children on Monday made her feel proud and “showed what a lovely lady she is.”Poppy was given a flyer for the Taylor Swift dance class this week, but she could not go.

“Everyone loved Taylor - and she loves her yoga teacher, so it was just a win-win,” Charlotte explained.But something came up. “It’s awful to say, but we’re thankful. And when you know people that have been affected, it’s heart-breaking.”Charlotte says it was perhaps what had happened after the attacks that has unsettled her daughter the most.

“She was more scared of the rioting than she was of the stabbing,” she said. “She was petrified that it was going to come down her road and we had to explain to her that there were lots of police.”“The people that were involved should be (ashamed), they really should,” Charlotte added.

Charlotte and Poppy, and dozens more parents here, even thousands across the country, are just at the beginning of processing the events of Monday afternoon. It is already on Charlotte’s mind how the community will come together to do “something special” for when the children return to school in September.

“Maybe we will sing a song for Alice,” Charlotte and Poppy said.The ONS said the numbers were still "official statistics in development", meaning that they may be revised in the future as more data becomes available.

Separate figures from the Home Office show more than 130,000 people were awaiting an initial decision for their asylum case as of September. The number of those claiming asylum has more than doubled since September 2021.Labour say they have hired more caseworkers to tackle the asylum backlog.

Net migration could fuel a rise in the UK population to 72.5 million by 2032, figures suggest.The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has projected a population growth of 7.3% between 2022 and 2032, compared with an increase of 6.1% over the previous 10 years.
