A female police chief committed gross misconduct when she launched a drunken tirade at a junior colleague about the size of her breasts, a disciplinary panel ruled.

Assistant Chief Constable Rebekah Sutcliffe told Superintendent Sarah Jackson that her "credibility was zero" after she had a "boob job" and berated her as a "laughing stock" who would be judged professionally "on the size of her boobs".

She then went on to pull down the front of her dress to expose her left breast and say: "Look at these, look at these, these are the breasts of someone who has had three children. They are ugly but I don't feel the need to pump myself full of silicone to get self-esteem."

Supt Jackson is now based in Cumbria.
