The relationship between Theresa May, the Home Secretary, and the leaders of the rank-and-file bobbies has deteriorated to such an extent that neither side has spoken to the other for six months, May has not held a meeting with a senior Police Federation leader since May, when more than 1,000 officers greeted her speech to the body's annual conference in Bournemouth with..... complete silence.
The Police Federation said that it had tried to arrange several appointments with her – in particular around the time of August's riots – but were rebuffed by her officials. The Police Federation chairman said that the relationship was now worse than with any other recent Home Secretary. "We've tried to see her, tried to arrange meetings, and keep getting rebuffed. In the past I would have the mobile number of the Home Secretary and we would see them regularly – but with May nothing."
May is known to have been angry at her treatment by the Police Federation conference, where she endured 40 minutes of hostile questioning, including a live video link-up with PC David Rathband, the officer blinded by the killer Raoul Moat. "I was paid £35,000 last year. Do you think it was too much?" he asked her.
