SUELLA Braverman has been accused by Labour of delivering a "dangerously complacent" response to a scathing review of the Metropolitan Police.
Home Secretary 'dangerously complacent' over scathing force review

The Home Secretary said she would ensure the force has "all the support" it needs from central government to deliver on Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley's pledge of "more trust, less crime and high standards".

Baroness Louise Casey found the force is institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic. Her review was commissioned after the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by then-serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens.

Ms Braverman also said the Home Office is reviewing the police dismissals process to ensure officers who fall short of expected standards can be "quickly" dismissed. The Met and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan must also be judged "not on their words but on their actions", Ms Braverman told MPs.
