        @BBCBreaking So starts the breakdown of the Police... this is what they wanted to happen... Privatisation through the backdoor. IMHO.

        @BBCBreaking Maybe they should vote for the new CC? Difference between that and the PCC vote? The CC candidates will know what theyre doing!

        @BBCBreaking Always wondered how this works legally. Surely you can't apply for your job unless it no longer exists, i.e. you've been fired.

        @BBCBreaking the tweet is not representative of the story as it says nothing about why he is retiring in the story
