Met Police Federation has 'no faith' in London mayor Sadiq Khan following Dame Cressida Dick's resignation

Mr Marsh said that remarks made by the mayor had "undermined the professional, dedicated and incredibly difficult work of tens of thousands of hard-working and brave police officers from across the capital".

"Officers in London feel saddened and angry that the commissioner, Cressida Dick, has been pushed out in the way she has."We are deeply disappointed with the actions of the mayor." A spokesman for Mr Khan added: "The mayor has always made clear that there are thousands of incredibly brave and decent police officers at the Met, who we owe a huge debt of gratitude.

... says institutionally racist Metropolitan Police.

The question is not whether the Met have faith in the Mayor but whether the general public have faith in the Met Police. Given repeated racism, misogyny and failure to tackle Johnson/Tory rule breaking and corruption, the answer is not much.

Khan out, Defund BBC and investigation into CMO_England

The public have NO faith in: The bbc, itvnews, sky news. The Criminal Government including BorisJohnson RishiSunak pritipatel Commons truth denier LindsayHoyle_MP BasJavidMPS is not the answer to replacing c dick, will only make the system even MORE CORRUPT.

Puti is not the prime minister of Pakistan or the president of Afghanistan Ghani.Half of the world is related to Russia and I wish world war three should begin. And everyone should feel Afghan refugees and Afghanistan people who are struggling with hunger and unknown future.

I've got no faith in either of them. They're only interested in stupid gimmicks to distract people from the fact they haven't got a clue between them.

Just look at the both of them who in there right mind listens to what they say ,who ever took this pair seriously come on you look at them two and tell me London is a safe place because we are protected by these 2 or was ,get out of here 😂🤣😂

As opposed to having faith in dick

No surprise!

How did a man that hates British culture become Mayor of the capital? The guy supports and defends Isis! Yes Isis!

Who has confidence in any politician.? The issue is confidence in the Police. Crime is up 14%. 98.4% of sexual crime is committed without consequence. Recent Political loyalty is pathetic. On behalf of all the victims, can the next Politicians please take policing seriously.

Sack him Boris with a big cream cake in the face.

the people of Great Britain never had any faith in Dick, and have never had any faith in or respect for the inept, Khan and his identity politics which have ruined our magnificent Capital. KhanOut

Khan was on about homophobia, racism, bullying, discrimination and misogyny in the police and with a culture like that it’s no wonder their response is not to admit any failings but to blame and criticise others

I have no faith in the Police either. They did NOTHING when I was violently assaulted in a planned, premeditated, aggravated attempted GBH with multiple witnesses and CCTV. I couldn't care less what the hell they think about anything.

metpoliceuk lack of self awareness is scary. It’s like they don’t want to admit that they have a problem.

I think Mayor Khan had respect for Dame Cressida Dick, the problem was the speed of an enquiry and how effective changes would be. He was voicing the concerns of the London public, so I don't think he should be viewed negativity on this subject.

And a lot of people don't trust metpoliceuk

Perhaps the Police Union is part of the problem, not part of the solution?

Not surprised

They don’t need faith in SadiqKhan it’s the publics trust lost by all the recent scandals. Presumably anyone being investigated would rather not be. We need grown ups.

I bet they don’t. I have no faith in them whatsoever.

No one does

With love from Brazil 🇬🇧🇧🇷and bristol pistol 👮🏻‍♂️🦊🔫BBCBreaking cnnbrk AlJazeera itvnews RIP JC

Who has😷

Who cares what the federation says. I don’t. All very dodgy 100%

Ask those who have confidence in the mayor to stand up and sack those who do not stand up, job done

haha. which do the people of london have more faith in.. Sadiq or the Met? I think I know the answer.

The met police seem corrupt so that can only be an endorsement of the mayor!

Half of the London (apart from those useless woke brigage) have no faith in this weakling.

Its almost like they really hate one of their own has been held to account for her failings and that someone new might come in and take a harder look at what officers are up to.

What have they got to fear? Someone showing how they've failed Londoners over the years? Odd for a trade union to be sucking up to Patel!

Well they report to him SadiqKhan so lets hope the new chief of the force respects democracy, is not appointed by Patel or Johnson and takes the force forward. Cressida’s time had come!

Harsher criticism from the Met against the Mayor for doing something they didn't like than they have ever made against Johnson who is currently under criminal investigation. Bent as a nine pound note.

Same as the rest of London. Unfortunately not enough could be bothered to vote .

This is so childish!

Not surprising to hear this from the Met who have been accused of being institutionally racist 🙄

Nooo really?

Guess what guys London residents have more faith I. Sadie Khan than met police least non of his staff have killed innocent woman

Mayor Khan now owns the whole resignation aftermath and if the Police Federation has no faith in him will he resign

The racists, misogynists, bullies and bigots have 'no faith' in the guy who called out their racism, misogyny, bullying and bigotry. What a surprise

Your mum smells, no your mum smells!

It means nothing! The met should focus on doing their job.

The Guy should go into Merchant Banking

Really, school yard antics!? In fact it just confirms Sadiq's decision is right.

A force which as had major issues with race I would be quiet for a bit and sort themselves out first.

And they each get 1 vote in mayoral elections, same as everyone else

Why is it okay for Patel to voice her opinion but not Khan? 🤷‍♀️

Why doesn’t he resign

I mean there are things I don't like about him but let's not forget he's an intelligent educated man and as much as we may not always agree with him he as Mayor has the right to say what goes with his job, don't you think?

So they have faith in…Johnson? They had faith in…Dick? This is why the Met is rotten to the core.

Lol nobody has any trust or faith in metpoliceuk. They fear now that they will have to work for a living

Does anyone, apart from some Party members, have any faith in Conservative politicians?!

Is it a bad thing if an organisation nobody has faith in has no faith in you?

I think they should concentrate on gaining the public’s confidence?

So?

Can't think why?

Diddums

Nobody asked them if they have faith in the elected mayor. They should be far more worried about whether the public have faith in them.

Knife crime is through the roof in London and all other crimes are up. Khan is hopeless and he hates Britain 👍🏻

Balance from July 2021: - get rid of Patel and this government? 'In a scathing announcement, the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW), which represents 130,000 officers, said Patel and the government “could not be trusted” and warned “warm words are no longer enough”.

so the police dont trust the mayor, the media doesnt trust the police, and nobody trusts the government.. exactly who is in charge? me?

Not just the Met surely?

The Met needs to sort it's own issues out before it can expect to be taken seriously.

And we don't have much faith in the met police, unable to find any evidence on partygate dispite often being present, and then sending questionnaires to suspects instead of actually questioning them.

Tut tut, they were having a field day under her now they can’t, so blame the guy for telling them to change.

Couldn't make it up LOL

No wonder they support Dick. She covered up for them on many occasions and colluded with law-breaker Johnson. And they hate Khan. Bet you can't tell the reason!

He is the weakest Mayor London ever had in the past many decades , that’s for sure

Give him the job if he is so good.

People of London: We have no faith in the Met.

Well let's face it the federation are set up and paid to defend the police even corrupt ones so why would they be pleased she's gone ? If they were any good they would have cleaned up the met years ago themselves . In my view they are just as corrupt and incompetent

Anyway Mr Cameron opened everyone’s eyes in the past about this man… once again Londoners voted for him again… the consequences still underway.. that’s your fault Mr public

But the reality is, People of London have no faith in neither of them.

I hope the federation take up a case against Khan re the way he hounded her out if her job. He’s chair of the Police committee and what ideas does he have re policing London ? None that’s what. It’s tantamount to constructive dismissal. The Government have to sort this out.

Instead of having no faith to BorisJohnson they seek the Paki - i see.... subtle racism of GreatBritain

Along with 50% of Londoners. The man is worse than Bozo.

I’m old enough to remember when the Police Federation declared a vote of no confidence in Priti Patel. They sure blow with the wind.

We don't have much faith in the Met either.

SadiqKhan has anybody got any faith in him, trying to shoehorn brother into role. notonepotism meritonly

But they had faith in Dick?
