The home secretary has expressed strong disapproval of behaviour by some Metropolitan Police officers at Charing Cross, citing a failure of leadership. The officers are reported to have shared racist and sexist messages, as well as making violent and misogynistic remarks. An investigation has uncovered evidence of misogyny, racism, bullying, and sex harassment among the officers, prompting the Met Police to vow to address the issue and the London mayor to put the Met commissioner on notice.
