How many more tragic and shameful failures can Met chief Cressida Dick preside over before she decides enough is enough?
Force’s shame
SARAH Everard’s killer wasn’t an “ex-cop”, nor a lone bad apple on the force.
There are others. Not as monstrous as Wayne Couzens, maybe. But who knows?
The Met has added to its disgrace by trying to massage in its favour the horrifying reality of Sarah’s abduction, rape and murder.
Couzens was only able to kidnap her because he was a police officer when he should not have been.
A series of clear warning signs should have ended his career long before.
But there are other serving officers nationwide with sexual misconduct allegations against them.
There are more “bad apples” in the Met being probed over allegedly grotesque conduct relating to Sarah’s murder.
The judge who rightly gave Couzens a whole-life term said the evil predator had eroded public confidence in the police.
But that he did not do alone.
All forces need a zero-tolerance stance on violence against women by officers.

Rishi Sunak’s bailout rescued millions of jobs during Covid.

In fairness, a scheme costing such vast sums and with dwindling public support could not continue.

Maybe not jobs you’ve done before — but work nonetheless, especially if you’re prepared to retrain.
And moneywise, there’s never been a better time to drive a truck.

Ambulances and delivery drivers were turned away.
Nesbitt and his crew must have seen the public’s justified hostility.
This is the worst time for him to be making a drama out of a crisis.
