On 10 February 2022, the day Dick announced her departure, Robin Wilkinson – the Met’s former chief of corporate services – was messaging and emailing Khan’s top officials as the commissioner battled to save her job. Dick was the highest-ranking police officer in the Met between 2017 and 2022, including at the time of the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer in the force in March 2021.

Documents released to the Guardian under freedom of information laws show the events leading up to Dick’s resignation. In a report of events by Wilkinson, he rejects a six-month voluntary payout worth £120,000 in a text exchange with Bellamy.
