Stephenson is having a bit of a disaster, his assurances that the rank and file Met were behind him were laughable, still fair play for ignoring Vaz's attempt to make a political comment regarding budget cuts.

Vaz is just at the head of a committee which now seems very determined to apply standards of judgement and powers of hindsight to the police which many of their peers have failed miserably to live up to over the years whether it be in terms of the systematic abuse of expenses, cash for honours/questions or the sort of lies/spin which led us into the war in Iraq. Frankly their hypocrisy and opportunism make me sick!
As for the number of press related staff they employ, given its size, unique role and the extreme demands of today's news media it doesn't surprise me but I'd like to know how many similar staff other large forces employ?
