London Mayor Sadiq Khan has led calls for ‘real change’ following the conviction of a white former police officer over the death of black man George Floyd in the US.

Mr Khan tagged his Twitter post “#BlackLivesMatter” and said his “thoughts are with George Floyd’s loves” after Derek Chauvin, 45, was found guilty of the murder and manslaughter of Mr Floyd by a jury in Minneapolis.
