Policing & Crime

  It has always been my view that leadership within Britain’s biggest police force is top down NOT bottom up, especially, when it comes to diversity.

In an attempt to wreck the Royal Charter on the press agreed by all parties in Parliament in March (based on the Leveson Inquiry recommendations and backed by the victims of press abuse) the press barons have put forward a rival draft charter.
