Rishi Sunak supports the expansion of police powers in the UK despite a damning new report that outlines widespread “racism, misogyny and homophobia” in the UK’s biggest force.
On Tuesday, a scathing review into the Metropolitan Police authored by government official Louise Casey found “deep-seated homophobia” in the force, routine “sexism and misogyny” and “racist attitudes.”
Despite this, the prime minister has said he is happy to continue his government’s expansion of police powers through legislation such as the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act or the Public Order Bill, both of which hand the police more power to crack down on protesters.
