The Police Federation of England and Wales have written a scorching letter to Boris Johnson and Priti Patel after they asked for some police officers who have been injured in the pandemic to be rounded up and sent to a drinks reception at Downing Street.
The letter complains about lack of PPE, lack of priority vaccination, the pay freeze, changing covid rules without consultation, confusing regulations, finding out information via newspaper columns and basically being treated with contempt by the government.
They say the relationship between government and the police has completely broken down and needs an urgent reset.

The national headteachers' unions sent a very similar letter to Gavin Williamson and Johnson recently so I'm feeling a lot of solidarity with this message.
