While many front pages say the Met chief was ‘forced out’, some cheer her departure after a series of ‘catastrophic blunders’

police officer is the main story in most of the papers on Friday, although there is some difference in emphasis about whether she deserved her fate.
The Guardian led with the line that the Metropolitan police commissioner had to leave because London’s mayor,
Sadiq Khan, lost confidence in her ability to reform the scandal-hit force.
