Public confidence in the Metropolitan police has fallen sharply in the five years Cressida Dick was leading Britain’s biggest force, figures published on Wednesday show.

Only 51% of those in London said they believed the Met did a good job in their local area, down 17 points compared with the last survey before Dick became Met commissioner in April 2017.
