Rishi Sunak: 'The abuse of power we've seen' within the Met Police 'is absolutely despicable'

Rishi Sunak: The abuse of power we’ve seen this week is absolutely despicable and it needs to be addressed immediately... We want to make sure there aren’t serving police officers anywhere, at any stage in their career, or indeed staff in police forces, who shouldn’t be there.

'The abuse of power we've seen' within the govt is absolutely despicable.

Gobsmacked... "turns out weve got some rapists in the police... were going to start checking the police against police records to make sure there isn't any criminals among them" what! You don't already do that?

[stephenhamer]

The abuse of power from Westminster needs to be addressed imo

[benuk]

What about the abuse of power by politicians

[msmith]

For future historians: the headline here should be reading 'Police refuse to arrest 45, 000 ILLEGALS'.
The population of Britain is desperately trying to find out why and who ordered this

[theroach]

The abuse of the power in the government is absolutely despicable.

I can see why Met Police were used in A Clockwork Orange!

[Missmambo]

Abuse of power seems to be a common theme in every UK institution at the moment. If only it was just the one.

Unelected, unwanted, what an abuse of power!

[sambishop]

Start by removing section 5 and fine police personally for any misconduct claims

[arnesaknussemm]

Whenever I see Sunak, I think of that Spitting image puppet of David Steel.

Rishi Sunak: 'The abuse of power we've seen' within the Met Police 'is absolutely despicable'
Government: "Police should be given more powers to abuse, to deal with people protesting about abusing their power" hilarious stuff.

Safety of women and girls…. What young teenage girls like the ones in Rotherham?

If you did that Rishi.
If your government took on the sex traffickers, I would become your loyal fan.

I thought rapists just had to say “Sorry” now. Well, unless they’re princes or policemen, then obviously that’s our superiors, we should expect higher standards from them.

[sal]

He should know about the abuse of power .

[aquarius]

Not just young girls that can’t go about their life without fear, no buggers safe today!!

[barneymagee]

Yet during the lockup, not a peep from him or any of his gang..

[andrewneil]

It would be more cost effective to stop Westminster privilege until an election…!

[elvishprincess]

Well we haven't had any real police reforms since the 1960s & don't expect either major party to do anything now.

Independently vetted = vetted by other police personnel covering up for their friends and colleagues in the police!
