About this episode

The Met Police - so says the explosive Casey Review released today - is a bullying boys club in which predators flourish.

Rape evidence is thrown out - because of broken fridges.

Eye-watering force is used against Black people.

Gay officers are scared of their colleagues.

So what happens now? And will this diminish public trust in the force even further? The author of the review Baroness Louise Casey joins us.

Plus we get hold of Boris Johnson's defence dossier. He argues he didn't mean to mislead Parliament, only called it a party because the media did and doesn't understand why he's accused of breaking rules when everyone else did too. So yes. that one.
