Watch again: Head of damning Met Police review speaks to parliamentary committee

Описание: Watch again as Baroness Louise Casey spoke to the home affairs select committee following her report on London's Metropolitan Police, which found the force to be "institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic" and unable to police itself.

The Met appointed Baroness Casey to lead an independent review of its culture and standards of behaviour in the wake of a series of shocking incidents.

It was commissioned in February 2021, in the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard by serving officer Wayne Couzens.

Published on Tuesday (21 March), the striking report also warned there may be more officers like Couzens - and serial rapist David Carrick - still in the ranks of the Met police.

"There is, without doubt, a discriminatory culture right across the Metropolitan Police," Baroness Casey said on yesterday.

"I think institutional racism, institutional sexism, institutional misogyny and homophobia are definitely present across the organisation, so it needs to clean itself up."
