The review, by Sir Thomas Winsor, into Dame Cressida’s departure from the force in February also found that due process was not followed. Dame Cressida said she would resign after evidence emerged that officers at Charing Cross police station had sent racist, sexist and homophobic messages to each other. The report found the mayor was “particularly concerned” that one of the officers who sent the offending messages was in the same team as Wayne Couzens, the former Met officer who was jailed for life for the murder of Sarah Everard in 2021. Mr Khan then told Dame Cressida privately that this was the saloon’s “last chance” and that she should “throw everything into it”. In his report, Sir Thomas concluded: “Due process was not followed by the Mayor of London and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime in taking their actions which led, on 10 February 2022, to Dame Cressida Dick resign from the Police. of the Metropolis. “Those acting on behalf of the mayor told the Commissioner that he intended to publicly announce his loss of confidence and trust in her and that he intended to begin legislative removal proceedings on the evening of February 10, 2022. “She was terrified of this process of stepping aside and I can understand that reaction. “The mayor’s actions failed to respect the dignity of the Commissioner as an individual and as a holder of high public office. “He did not act, especially on February 10, 2022, according to the legislative system, even more its spirit.” Since then, the Met has been placed in special measures and has also suffered a backlash over its investigation into parties across Downing Street and Whitehall during the COVID lockdown.

He added in a statement: “Under the former commissioner’s watch, confidence in the police fell to record lows following a litany of appalling scandals. “What happened was simple – I lost confidence in the former commissioner’s ability to make the changes needed and then she chose to stand aside. “Londoners elected me to hold the Met commissioner to account and that is exactly what I have done. I make absolutely no apologies for demanding better for London and for putting the interests of the city I love first.” Home Secretary Priti Patel commented: “Public trust in the Met has been damaged by a series of appalling incidents and it is vital that the failings are addressed and professional standards restored to the level that Londoners deserve.” Dame Cressida left her post in April and is to be replaced by Sir Mark Rowley.
