Oh there were parties, oh they were illegal, oh the police knew about them at the time, oh the police did nothing, oh the police tried their best until 2 weeks ago to pretend they didn’t know about them… The house of cards is coming down. Boris next please. Edit: Actually looks more like what Bicks said, Khan pretty much publicly sacked her. I’m sure there is a strong hidden link to the ongoing farce at Downing Street though too.

Strictly Speaking, No but it is shrouded in a bit of National Security secrecy Mayor of London, Home Secretary & Policing Minister last time. It has been said that Pritti Patel had already said she should go but when she also lost Khan's confidence her continuation in the role was rather untenable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Popular Post bickster Posted February 11, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2022 Quote Revealed: why the Met chose not to investigate Partygate We are today publishing our Grounds for seeking a judicial review of the Metropolitan Police’s initial refusal to investigate the Downing Street lockdown parties, and the Met’s response. The Met had previously insisted that some of the contents of these documents be kept confidential, but we are now publishing them. The Met’s decision not to investigate is difficult to understand. It is hard to avoid concluding that the Met decided it didn’t want to investigate, and then scrambled to reverse engineer a justification for this. Their justification is itself remarkable. It includes reference to the fact that: “Downing Street… have already stated that Covid rules were followed” “anyone who was at the gathering would be entitled to refuse to answer questions because of the privilege against self-incrimination” because the Cabinet Office was looking into possible breaches there was no need for the Met to investigate as well. These are extraordinary points. They create a different set of laws for those in high office. ... Good Law Project 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Quote Cressida Dick resignation: Metropolitan Police Federation says it has 'no faith' in London Mayor Sadiq Khan The body claims comments made by Mr Khan have "undermined the professional, dedicated and incredibly difficult work of tens of thousands of hard-working and brave police officers from across the capital" [...] Ken Marsh, chairman of the federation, said the atmosphere among officers was at "rock bottom" following the resignation of Dame Cressida Dick Accusing politicians of using "policing and the career of the country's most senior police leader to deflect from their own failings", Mr Marsh said: "This is not a move we take lightly. "We have let the Mayor's office know in no uncertain terms how our brave and diligent colleagues deserve better. [...] "Officers in London feel saddened and angry that the Commissioner Cressida Dick has been pushed out in the way she has. She was reforming. She was changing. The culture is changing. "We are deeply disappointed with the actions of the Mayor." Lots more on the link 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
