Confidence in the Met Police has fallen to an all-time low as Londoners lose faith in the force’s management of protests, ability to solve thefts and local policing, according to a new report.
A damning report published by the Policy Exchange think tank recommended that responsibility of the service should be stripped from mayor Sadiq Khan and transferred to the Home Office instead. It also said that the Met should be put back onto special measures, which were lifted at the start of the year.
