Malthouse defends Cressida Dick amid calls for resignation

Crime and Policing Minister Kit Malthouse has defended Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick, describing her as "an officer of long-standing" who "has a lot to contribute to the fight against women and girls".

She has faced calls for her resignation after widespread criticism of police tactics at a vigil for Sarah Everard in south London on Saturday.
