The Metropolitan Police may need to change its name in a root and branch review of the force following the David Carrick case, Sir Keir Starmer has said.The Labour leader said the crimes committed by the former officer who admitted 49 criminal charges including 24 counts of rape were jaw-droppingly shocking.He suggested the scale of the change now needed at the Met may be comparable to the policing reforms in Northern Ireland in the wake of the Good Friday Agreement which led to the Royal Ulster Constabulary being replaced by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.In an interview with Global Player's The News Agents podcast, Sir Keir said the Carrick case followed other scandals where there had been a failure to take action against the perpetrators.
