Conservative MP urges Suella Braverman to abolish Metropolitan police following Casey report

During home secretary Suella Braverman’s ministerial statement on the Casey review, Conservative MP Dr Matthew Offord called on the government to abolish the Metropolitan police.

He said: “Many think that the report in itself is a panacea to change. Does the Home Secretary agree with me it would be more effective to abolish the Metropolitan Police Service, transfer the specialist operations to the remit of the Home Office, and establish a police service for London?”.
