[bitchstewie]

Seems all but done except the announcement going off Twitter.

WTF investigates the PM then resigns

[Fundoreen]

Who can do a good job as new top bobby then without being intimidated into submission by the culture? Any tough and competent people left in the country?

[bitchstewie]

Gone.

Khan's statement.

While investigating the PM, she probably found out she had attended on of the parties

Interesting and so soon after “I’m not resigning” speech ; quite a dramatic turnaround ; wonder who blew in her ear ?

Brush up against Boris and you know the outcome.

That's what I think. She knows what's gone on and doesn't feel she can keep her job and be honest about it.

I heard that on the radio this morning. Always a bad idea to say you wont resign. Always ends the same way!

[gotoPzero]

Oh goody there goes another few million on an enquiry into why she has resigned.... ffs.

Finally.
Hopefully as a resignation not a firing means she’s not getting a juicy exit payment.

I suspect that's wishful thinking

She’s on a fixed term contract, I’d imagine there will be an exit payment as indeed there was when GMP’s Chief Con was forced out recently

It matters not to her I’d imagine as she retired from the Police in 2015 with a full pension of an Assistant Commissioner after 32 years service with her period of acting Commissioner taken into account, then went into a very senior role in the Home Office for two years, before returning to the Met in “17 on a fixed Chief officers contract

[ChocolateFrog]

Am I wrong in thinking that if she had been a man she would have been sacked/resigned years ago?

She was matching Boreoff for stickability until today.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Will any of the skeletons come out the closet now then?

[Unknown_User]

Matty Hancock being tipped to take over.

No title "dick faces the chop"


Booo

[g4ry13]

About time too! Only 5 years (or more) too late.

Hopefully the next appointment isn't a political one and someone who has actually got some experience of what it's like to be a Police officer.

And Dick's statement.
