The mayor of London Sadiq Khan has criticised the review, describing it as “clearly biased”.
Image source, PA MediaDame Cressida Dick “felt intimidated” into stepping down as Metropolitan Police Commissioner after an ultimatum from Sadiq Khan, according to a review.
Dame Cressida quit in February when the mayor of London said he had lost confidence in her leadership.
Priti Patel asked the then chief inspector of constabulary Sir Tom Winsor to carry out a review into the handling of Dame Cressida’s exit.
Mr Khan says the review is “clearly biased” and “ignores the facts”.
In his report, Sir Tom states that he believes due process was not followed by Mr Khan and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) in the actions they took which led to Dame Cressida stepping aside as Commissioner.
It also notes that the Mayor’s actions were “not in accordance with the relevant legislation”.
Dame Cressida said she had to resign after Mr Khan made it clear he had no confidence in her leadership.
It followed cases of sexism and misogyny among some Met officers.
Dame Cressida, the first woman to lead the UK’s biggest police force, also faced criticism over the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving Met officer last year, and a series of other scandals.
