Has resigned. To my mind, about time. Again, to my mind, she should never have been appointed - a token gesture to inclusiveness

Chances on a Muslim replacement ?

There's some pretty horrible stuff reported on this. It seems that the Met employs some pretty bad apples and she failed to get a grip on the problem. I won't post a link to the stuff I found.

Her partner is called helen BALL. Some jokes just write themselves...

If its a Muslim with a mindset like Nazir Afzal, they could do worse.

I just hope it's someone tough enough to sort out the bad apples.

Yes, the soft dick was no good at all...

She has a very tough job and is respected by many.. There are some rotten apples in the barrel.. and those apples can destroy the rest of the crop..

Too lax on ER and BLM protests which went way past what was acceptable.

Was it her coppers doing the street dancing rubbish?

1000 Met officers policing Twitter while there are almost daily stabbings?

Why now ? I know the police have lost the public's respect but I don't trust Khan at all, so why now ? Perhaps he was worried he wouldn't get the result he wanted over 'Partygate ' ?

I read he said HE will decide on next Commissioner, not the Home Secretary. London could be heading for a mixed race or black, trans gender muslim woman

With disabilities and a guide dog

Priti Patel will select new Commissioner .. She will liais with Khan but it is not he who will choose.. That's just wishful thinking..

What happens next ?
" The Metropolitan Police Federation, which represents more than 31,000 officers in the capital, has declared it has "no faith" in London Mayor Sadiq Khan "
A lot of Londoners have no faith in Khan either, but he was elected so he stays put.

Look on the bright side Mike - he's in a diffrenet country and probably 500 miles away from you. Same country and only 50 from me yet I still couldn't care less what he does.
