More than half of ethnic minority Britons do not trust the Metropolitan Police, damning new data has revealed.

Fresh figures from YouGov found that 56 per cent of ethnic minority Britons distrust the Met, compared to just 32 per cent who do.

The results were similar to those collected for all Britons in February, with 54 per cent of the whole population distrusting the Met while 30 per cent said they had some trust in the force.
