Scotland Yard has been accused of an “establishment stitch up” as a senior officer overseeing complaints about Partygate is the brother of a top Tory.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Bas Javid, sibling of Health Secretary Sajid Javid, is the second highest ranking officer in the department that, amongst other senior officers, decided not to investigate the force’s handling of the gatherings.
Green Party peer Jenny Jones, said: “To many people this will look like stark corruption and with so many complaints coming in and the press reports, the Met must have known the reputational damage it was taking. It looks like an establishment stitch up.”
