Colin Sutton, a police and crime commissioner, cancels a planned 127-date speaking tour. The cancellations come after he previously promoted the tour and said it could be carried out in his spare time, according to the reports.
The outlets describe how Sutton’s timeline clashes with the practical scheduling of the events. They note that the tour dates fall mostly on weekdays, meaning they cannot realistically fit around a part-time or “spare time” arrangement. In this reporting, the decision to cancel follows a change in Sutton’s position, as he acknowledges it could not be done as initially claimed.
The two sources provided here present the same core sequence: Sutton insists on the feasibility of the tour, later accepts that it cannot be completed in the way he described, and then cancels the speaking engagements.
