The Met's budget is set by the Home Office and has been cut year on year ever since the Tories took office in 2010. Sadiq Khan has consistently protested against the government cuts and has provided ?27M from the mayoral budget this year to try to mitigate the worst effects.

Not true. At least not in cash terms.

The independent calls it a disputed figure


"Shoplifting, car crime and criminal damage are among the ?lower level? offences that officers may not probe as the force works to save ?400m by 2020 ? a figure disputed by the Government."

Cressida Dick has repeated this figure yesterday


"Met Commissioner Cressida Dick said yesterday that it was ?incredible to think? her force was being asked to save ?400 million over the next five years, on top of ?600 million of previous cuts. "

Fair enough, please insert "in real terms" after the second "year"! I think everyone understands that with inflation no rise is a de facto cut, don't they? Or should the Met stop complaining because they're getting more than they had in 1970?

    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
