Description

The republicans doth protest too much, according to the Met police. Can the force change? And does it really want to? Speaking of change, should the Tories be terrified by the local election results? And Trump, Carlson and DeSantis – no, not the start of a bad joke, but a trio who are pushing forward the far-right in America. 


“In recent years, it’s felt there has been scandal after scandal after scandal from the Met.” – Rachel Cunliffe

“If you hand the police sweeping new powers and say you can arrest someone for having a bike lock, guess what? They’re going to use them.” – Rachel Cunliffe

“I don't think individual officers actually understand the law as it stands.” – Rachel Cunliffe 

“It’s arresting people for thought crimes, it’s a sad moment. It will do a lot for the republican cause.” – Gavin Esler
