(Picture: Daniel Hambury)When it comes to Britain’s least trusted institution right now, it’s a toss-up between Downing Street and the Metropolitan Police. Both are mired in scandal and haemorrhaging trust at a time when we need strong, clean organisations which aren’t institutionally corrupt, incompetent or rotten to the core.
For what it’s worth, I don’t believe the Met’s woeful handling of “partygate” was mandated by the Prime Minister. It’s even worse than that. The Met is perfectly capable of cocking things up all on its own.
