Abstract

The Met’s investigation into ‘partygate’ has raised more questions than it has answered, writes Tim Newburn. He writes that this outcome, which comes on the back of other scandals, finds the Met accused of acting in ways that favour their political masters. But while the police cannot afford such a perception to take hold, this does not seem to be recognised in New Scotland Yard.
