Black belt sees red

If IAIN McNICOL — who’s just quit his job as Labour’s general secretary following claims that Momentum wanted to oust him — decides to fight back, things could get messy. He’s a karate black belt. THE performance of Thames Valley Police has been officially rated as ‘ inadequate’. labour MP Matt rodda, whose reading constituency is covered by the force, complains that there are 357 fewer officers than eight years ago. another Thames Valley MP hasn’t been so vociferous about this staffing shortfall ... Maidenhead’s Theresa May, who was Home secretary (and thus responsible for policing) for most of that time.
