About Ian Blair
In a move that will have surprised approximately no-one, Boris Johnson prodded Sir Ian Blair out of office. I think he would have had to go anyway but having BoJo take a smug personal hand is a really bad sign. And what's worse:
Friends of Blair said last night that when the commissioner suggested he should stay until a replacement had been found, he was told: "We don't want a successor appointed. We will have an acting arrangement until a Conservative home secretary arrives.
So London isn't to get a top policeman appointed until they've been politically approved and vetted? Really? How he can get away with this boggles my mind.
Ken Livingston has a piece on this also.
