Bob Quick quits

It’s just been confirmed that Bob Quick has resigned from his role as a Met assistant commissioner.  He will be replaced by John Yates.  You felt it was coming after Quick’s horrendous blunder outside No.10 yesterday, although he’s certainly courted controversy and embarrassment before then.  With this happening in the wake of the Ian Tomlinson tragedy, the Met now faces a titanic task to restore its battered reputation.
