A co-founder of women's rights group Reclaim These Streets, slammed "tone deaf" Cressida Dick, saying she hopes her departure marks an overhaul of the "rotten" at the Met Police.
Anna Birley said under Dick's watch, the Met Police was willing to "put itself above the expense of women's safety" in refusing to tackle issues of misogyny and violence against women - along with wider issues of homophobia and racism.
Commissioner Dick's resignation comes after the deaths of Sarah Everard, Sabina Nessa as well as sisters Nicole Smallman, 27, and Bibaa Henry, 46.
