Cressida Dick: Sadiq Khan and Sir Tom Winsor in fiery hearing over Met Police chief’s exit

  • last year
Sadiq Khan and Sir Tom Winsor locked horns over a report which concluded the former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police felt “intimidated” into quitting her post.

The findings of the former chief inspector of constabularies’ report into the resignation of Dame Cressida Dick were contested by the mayor of London at a meeting of City Hall’s police and crime committee today (Wednesday, November 16).

His report, published in September, found Mr Khan treated Dame Cressida in an “oppressive and unreasonable” way, ignored “due process”, and “failed to respect [her] dignity”.

The mayor previously claimed Sir Tom’s findings were “clearly biased and ignored the facts”.

During a series of fiery exchanges, the ex-top cop inspector and the mayor traded blows in front of London Assembly members while seated yards from each other at the same table.
