Police officers wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "Pc Pleb and Proud" gathered outside Andrew Mitchell's constituency office yesterday, accusing the Prime Minister of failing to "get to the bottom" of the chief whip's outburst.
Officers from three federation branches – West Midlands, West Mercia and Warwickshire – congregated at the office in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.
The federations brought forward the launch of their campaign against police funding cuts after Mr Mitchell was accused of calling Downing Street officers "plebs" in a rant last week.
