'Enough is enough - things have to change': May admits there has been 'far too much tolerance of extremism in our country' as she vows to introduce tougher punishments and a new crackdown on fanatics
The Prime Minister said the three attacks in the past three months were not directly connected but were linked by the 'the single evil ideology of Islamist extremism'. She said there was too much 'tolerance' of extreme views and insisted: 'Enough is enough'. Speaking on the steps of No 10, Mrs May said that when it comes to tackling terrorism 'things have to change'.

KATIE HOPKINS: You're right, Theresa. We cannot go on like this. But do you have the balls to do what's REALLY needed and lock up the 3,000 terror suspects tomorrow?
To the police, the politicians, the people in power, I say this: we are sick, SICK, of hearing that these animals are known to the authorities. Why are we the casualties in a game of war where the human rights of the terrorists are prioritised above the right to life of our baby girls and regular Brits out with their families for a meal and a drink? Our process for dealing with terror cannot be words or vigils. It must be internment and deportation. And we keep deporting until our house is in order, writes KATIE HOPKINS.

Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!
[h=1]Revealed: Arsenal supporting married father-of-two known to MI5 and a Moroccan-Libyan pastry chef with an Irish ID named as terrorists who killed seven in London[/h]
- Jihadi in an Arsenal shirt can today be named as British extremist Khuram Butt, 27, who lived in Barking
- Father-of-two nicknamed 'Abz', even called fellow Muslims 'Kuffar - non-believers' if they did not have beards
- His involvement is embarrassing for police and security services because he appeared in TV documentary
- He was known to both police and MI5, but because he wasn't 'planning attack', he wasn't deemed a priority
- Butt unfurled an ISIS-type flag in Regent's Park and appeared at protests with other British extremists
- Butt banned from mosque for berating worshippers and also tried to preach to children offering them sweets
- He used to work for fast food chain KFC and for Transport for London which is responsible for Tube and buses
- Second attacker has been named as a Moroccan-Libyan called Rachid Redouane thought to be a pastry chef
A married father-of-two and a Moroccan-Libyan 30-year-old can now be revealed as two of the London Bridge terrorists who murdered seven people in the capital city massacre.
The killer in an Arsenal shirt can today be named as British extremist Khuram Butt who was filmed unfurling an ISIS flag on national TV and was reported to the police twice but still managed to launch murder on Britain's streets.
Butt, 27, a married father of two nicknamed 'Abz' who was born in Pakistan, was so extreme he called fellow Muslims without beards non-believers, would not speak to women directly and was banned from a mosque for berating worshippers for being 'un-Islamic'.
He was known to both the police and MI5 who are awaiting what they described as international confirmation before naming the third terrorist.
Football fan Butt, who worked at KFC and Transport for London, wore an Arsenal shirt under his fake suicide belt as he and two friends crashed their van into crowds on London Bridge before slashing at people with large knives murdering seven people and leaving 48 injured on Saturday night.
One of the friends has been named as Rachid Redouane - believed to be a pastry chef living in Ireland having married a Scottish wife - who was not on anyone's radar as a terrorist and also used the name Rachid Elkhdar, claiming to be six years younger.

The third murderer has yet to be named by the Metropolitan Police, who said although Butt was on their watch list, there was no evidence he was planning an attack and therefore his file was not deemed a priority.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: 'There was no intelligence to suggest that this attack was being planned and the investigation had been prioritised accordingly.
'Work is ongoing to understand more about them, their connections and whether they were assisted or supported by anyone else.'
Butt's involvement is doubly embarrassing for police and the security services because he appeared in a TV documentary last year about British jihadis – and was also involved in a filmed altercation with police in a pair of Rayban sunglasses after he unfurled an ISIS flag in Regent's Park.
On Channel 4's The Jihadis Next Door he was caught on camera alongside two notorious preachers who were well known to police and intelligence officials because of their extremist views.
He was reported to the anti-terror hotline after he became radicalised by watching extremist videos on YouTube and police were later warned about the suspect radicalising children in a local park two years ago - giving them sweets and money to listen to him.
A friend said he was never contacted by the police or MI5 about his concerns, adding: 'I did my bit, I know other people did their bit but the authorities did not do their bit'.
Butt had been left traumatised at the age of 12 by the death of his father, MailOnline can reveal, and he was also been run over outside his house in East London four years earlier.
Neighbours said his father 'brought the children up well' and that his loss had a profound effect on the youngster, paving the way for his extremism.
He later became radicalised and had an arranged marriage which produced two children.
A neighbour, who tried to resuscitate the father, said Butt was screaming hysterically when the family had found the head of the family 'stiff and on his side'.
When he was eight, the would-be terrorist ran out between two parked cars and was hit by a vehicle, breaking his teeth and damaging his leg, meaning he walked with a limp until the day he was shot dead.
'The family received £2,500 in compensation from the insurers,' the neighbour said.
It appears he did not fade under the radar, as he was last month spotted urging people in East London not to participate in the general election and, according to The Guardian, he was a supporter of the banned Islamic extremist group al-Muhajiroun.
Michael Membo told the BBC he thought the terrorist was moving out because he had parked in the middle of the road and that his religious beliefs appeared to harden since the turn of the year.
He told Sky: 'He was a very interactive with the neighbours and with the kids. He joked around a lot, but we did not know whether to take it at face value.
‘There were no signs, as such, but at the start of the year he started to grow his beard. He had never really had a long but I thought it was just done by choice.
‘His style of clothing was more Islamic rather than casual. It became more frequent – sometimes he would wear a cap and sometimes he wouldn’t.
‘What we noticed was that he was speaking to the kids about his views.
‘The kids would tell their parents but people would just say “oh, it’s only Abz – don’t take him so seriously”.’
One of those youngsters told the BBC: ‘He was unhappy about what women were wearing. He wanted women to wear hijabs.
'We would speak about Syria and Afghanistan and how these countries were getting bombed.’
Neighbours have described how Butt hid behind a 'nice guy' persona and duped parents into trusting him to be alone with their children.
He was known to play football and table tennis with the youngsters, but a former team-mate of the terrorist who used to play seven-a-side football with Butt at Newham Leisure Centre told MailOnline: ‘He used to come to the session in Newham where I live and play seven-a-side football.
‘It’s a quite shock to see he’s involved.
‘He was really good at football, a really talented player – and obviously an Arsenal fan.
‘I remember one incident when a friend of mine and my brother were playing when there was a violent fight on the pitch and he [Butt] stepped on someone’s head.
‘It was only a friendly game but he instigated the fight.
‘He was quite a heated, confrontational character.
‘It was obvious back then he was becoming more radicalised - I could see the beard was growing longer and longer and the way he spoke, he would use Islamic terms in his speech.
‘I respect everyone for all their own views and I wasn’t judging him at the time so thought nothing of it.’

Abz (pictured in sunglasses) was also in the background when another protester Mohammed Shamsuddin, not involved in Saturday’s terror attack, had a furious row with police
It also emerged that police may also have questioned him last year after a photographer captured a detective carrying secret notes detailing an interview.
He was ‘euphoric’ and asking about how to hire a van just hours before the London Bridge atrocity, it was claimed last night.
A neighbour said that Butt wandered over and started asking about his van and how much it would cost to hire one.
The Telegraph claims that counter-terrorism officers were watching a cell in Barking, where he lived, on the eve of the terror attack.
Today Abz's family asked to 'grieve in peace' as it emerged the terrorist held a farewell barbecue at his flat in Barking, where guests were handed cupcakes.

Butt (pictured) started asking a neighbour about his van and how much it would cost to hire one in the hours before the attack
Neighbour Ramou Grant told Good Morning Britain: 'Last week he called for a barbecue and invited all of us. [I'm] thinking, "was this a send-off?".'
One of his neighbours told MailOnline he was a 'cheeky chappie' before he became serious about Islam and his older brother was in the Territorial Army.
Aged eight he was knocked down with a car and broke his tooth and damaged his leg. He got a £2,500 payout and walked with a limp after that.
In 2013, the neighbour said he started to wear religious clothes. He used to go to the mosque over the road which she said was quite radical and lots of young men start going there and turn out extreme, she said.
His father died suddenly in 2002 and that affected him because he used to 'took care' to bring them up properly and make sure they didn't stray.
The family were all on benefits but the father also worked selling fruit and veg at a stall in Queens Market in Upton Park. So they lost money when he died and the mother 'didn't really care' about the kids, she said.
Salaudeen Jailabdeen, 40, who lives in a neighbouring block of flats, said the suspect had once been ejected from a local mosque for interrupting an imam. He then started preaching in his flat.
A spokesman for the Jabir Bin Zayd Islamic Centre said: 'The imam was forced to ask him to leave two years ago.
'He was giving a speech on the up-and-coming general election and the imam was explaining how it was important to vote wisely.
'He got angry, complaining that it was nothing to do with him, and interrupted the imam. He was then asked to leave.'
But in a statement on its website, the mosque said: 'We feel until the police release more information it is not appropriate for us to speak about anyone that may or may not have prayed here.'
Neighbours near the Barking flats where he lived said he had been well-known to the community.
Damien Pettit, 31, who said he could not be sure the man pictured was definitely his neighbour, said the man was 'very much involved in the area'.
Yesterday a photographer captured a detective carrying secret notes which appeared to suggest he had been quizzed by police as recently as last year.
According to The Times, the Barking suspect had preached to people at his flat, worked on the transport network and worked for a few hours a week at an Islamic fitness centre where he also took part in boxing and taekwondo.
