In the wake of the report, Ms Abbott declared that "Cressida Dick must go", claiming the Met Commissioner is a "discredited figure" not only following the IOPC report, but also for the Met's conduct around partygate."The way she stepped in to save Boris Johnson's bacon in relation to partygate – she has to go. change has to come from the top."
