Bloomberg Westminster

Trampling Flowers And Liberties (with David Simmonds MP)


Listen Later

There has been shock and outrage across the political spectrum after police tried to break up a vigil in memory of murdered Londoner Sarah Everard. There have been calls too for the resignation of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick.
David Simmonds, Conservative MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing the scenes were concerning but any decision on Cressida Dick needs to wait until the full facts are known.
Bloomberg Executive Editor Rosalind Mathieson gives us her eyewitness account of what went on, and Liberty's policy and campaigns manager Rosalind Comyn says police grossly mishandled the event and trouble could have been avoided.
