Summary
David Lammy has denied that the police are institutionally racist, referencing the 2023 Casey Report — which actually found evidence of institutional racism in the Met Police — as evidence that the force has moved on. This is contradictory, as the Met Police itself refused to accept the report's findings of institutional racism when it was published.
