Police will guard the Cenotaph round the clock as part of a ‘ring of steel’ to ensure a pro-Palestine demo in London will not interfere with Armistice Day commemorations.
Scotland Yard said this afternoon that an exclusion zone will be put in place covering Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade, the Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance and other relevant areas, in effect banning those on the march from these locations.Anyone in these areas believed to be part of the pro-Palestinian demonstration can be arrested.Police also said that the Cenotaph will be under 24-hour guard for the whole weekend.
Downing Street said on Thursday that it did not clear her piece accusing police of "playing favourites" with protesters, but that Mr Sunak still has confidence in the Home Secretary.But the Prime Minister is said to be considering Ms Braverman's future, and considering the possibility of bringing forward a Cabinet reshuffle previously slated for before Christmas.
