Since Rowley took charge in September 2022, the Met says it has ousted
1,500 officers who fell short of expected standards.

Rowley said: “The behaviour depicted in this programme is reprehensible
and completely unacceptable.

“Officers behaving in such appalling, criminal ways let down our
communities and will cause some to question if their sons and daughters are
safe in our cells, and whether they would be believed and respected as
victims of crime. For that, I am truly sorry.”

He promised that “where there is incontrovertible evidence of racism,
‘misogyny, anti-Muslim sentiment or bragging about excessive use of force”,
those responsible would be “put on a fast-track hearing within weeks and on
a path to likely dismissal”.

In his conference speech, Miliband directly linked Musk to Labour’s most potent domestic political opponent, Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage, saying that both were part of a right-wing “global network who want to destroy the ties that bind our communities and our way of life.”

Musk, he said, “incites violence on our streets … calls for the overthrow of our elected government [and] is an enabler of disinformation through X.”

The hardline message is particularly pertinent coming from Miliband, who oversees the U.K.’s energy policy. Tesla Energy Ventures, a U.K. subsidiary of Musk's tech giant, is currently bidding for a license to become an electricity supplier to homes and businesses in Britain, setting itself up as a rival to home-grown incumbents like British Gas and Octopus Energy.
