Scotland Yard blasted in leaked report for spending ‘too long’ on £2million Operation Midland

The review of the £2million Operation Midland probe is said to be more scathing than police chiefs were expecting.

Author Sir Richard Henriques, a retired top judge, is understood to say it should have ended well before it did in March with no arrests or charges.

Sir Richard says the probe was compromised by inconsistencies in the account of  witness Nick.

His claims led to allegations against high-profile figures including ex-Army chief Lord Bramall.
