A top policing inspector has described the actions of the Met Police on the night of the Sarah Everard vigil as “exemplary”.

Sir Tom Winsor, who wrote a report into the resignation of Dame Cressida Dick as the commissioner of the force, appeared at City Hall this morning (Wednesday, November 16).

His report found mayor Sadiq Khan had treated the commissioner in an “oppressive and unreasonable” way, had not followed “due process”, and “failed to respect [her] dignity”.

The mayor previously claimed Sir Tom’s report was “clearly biased and ignores the facts”.

Speaking at the police and crime committee alongside Khan, Sir Tom suggested the policing of the Clapham Common vigil following the killing of Sarah Everard was “exemplary”.
