Summary

Following Cressida Dick’s resignation, we look at the looming clashes over who will become the next Met police chief. What are the priorities for whoever gets the role? Plus, the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine persists. Is war imminent? And after Boris Johnson was handed a police questionnaire over Partygate, what can we expect next? Justin Quirk is joined by Naomi Smith to discuss the week ahead. “The fish rots from the head and a bad leader… is one that will mean that awful culture pervades and that cascade happens through an organisation.” “We’ve got to hope and pray that we can have a force we can be proud of.” “Changing the culture within an organisation can take years, and the Met will be no exception.” “After Brexit and Trump, Putin knows that the West isn’t as united as it has been.” “Much of the left in Western politics have a blind spot when it comes to Russian imperialism.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Justin Quirk with Naomi Smith.
