This from Ben Brogan:
And rightly so, I’d say. As I suggested earlier, the key now for the Tories – at least in the short term – is to wash their hands of this Bob Quick furore / the whole issue of police politicisation. If Quick is moved, then the Tories’ position will be vindicated enough as it is.“The expectations from the Yard tonight are that Mr Quick is finished and will be quietly moved.”
