National News Cressida Dick

BBC Breakfast were interviewing a chap this morning, think it was Stephen Lawrence`s brother, and tried to railroad him into saying the new Commisioner should be BAME and, fair play to him he didn`t say a word despite Naga trying to push him into it.

Home Sec with input from London Mayor ..... Which could prove to be a standoff of sorts with Patel going head-on with Khan
