nemo = no one, nobody and actually is a contraction of the old Latin ne hemō (“no man”), hey, look no apostrophe, how did they manage?
So in the context of the above means a "bloated nobody".

Oddly this appeared in my time line.
So there was no-one available to replace her in time.
However they are now looking for her replacement.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-60229473.amp
There was tension between the home secretary and Downing Street over whether to try to recruit a successor for Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick in the wake of the controversy over the Sarah Everard case, multiple sources have told the BBC.
Priti Patel and No 10 both had concerns about leadership at the Met, and discussed whether or not to try to find a new commissioner.
There was widespread anger over the force's handling of the case and the treatment of female protestors holding a vigil for Ms Everard, who was killed by a former Met officer Wayne Couzens.
But it's understood that both Ms Patel and Boris Johnson were unenthusiastic about the likely internal candidate, senior Met officer Neil Basu, who had previously criticised the PM's comments and was seen in No 10 as "too political", sources say.
However, the home secretary did consider going through the recruitment process where a civil service panel interviews candidates, before recommending the candidate to her.

The same applies to our government, so we should not be surprised that it is not be any different for the Met.
We - or at least, most thinking people - rather expect our policemen to have rather more detailed training for the job they are paid to do. When the Met's most senior officer is concerned about "prejudicing" a summary infraction, it's clear they don't count knowledge of the law too highly. Nor common sense, come to that.

Convenient timing this comes out just as the Met are in the public eye over #10.
