The home secretary has hit out at the Metropolitan Police after the commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, resisted government pressure to ban this week's pro-Palestine march.
Suella Braverman has accused the police of 'double standards' in the way they handle protests - after Rishi Sunak conceded that a pro-Palestine march on Armistice Day will go ahead. The home secretary has sharply criticised the Metropolitan Police in an op-ed for The Times newspaper - saying there is 'a perception that senior police officers play favourites when it comes to protesters'.
She wrote that the marches are 'problematic, not just because of violence around the fringes but because of the highly offensive content of chants, posters and stickers'. She added: 'This is not a time for naiveté. We have seen with our own eyes that terrorists have been valorised, Israel has been demonised as Nazis and Jews have been threatened with further massacres.
