Three women have made claims about Greater Manchester Police with one saying she was drugged and sexually assaulted during her detention in 2021.
In the struggles of the Met, Sadiq Khan has often come under pressure, and many of his opponents try to pin any problems with crime and the police force on his mayoralty - so why is the same not happening with Andy Burnham, and where should the accountability lie?
“Police and crime commissioners have taken away some of the accountability because you don’t get as many police chiefs on the airwaves doing interviews and taking responsibility.” - Anoosh Chakelian.
Anoosh Chakelian, Freddie Hayward, and Ben Walker answer a listener question on the accountability issue facing the Greater Manchester Police.
