The damning findings of the Casey Report into the Metropolitan Police dominate the front pages of Tuesday’s newspapers.

Commissioned in the wake of Sarah Everard’s murder by serving Met officer Wayne Couzens in 2021, the report says the force has lost public faith, according to the Daily Express.

Both The Guardian and Metro say the report found the force to be “racist, misogynistic and homophobic” while The Telegraph and Daily Mail add “broken” to the charge sheet.
