Defence Secretary Grant Shapps faces questions on Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips as pressure grows on Rishi Sunak to sack Suella Braverman as home secretary. She has been accused of 'sowing the seeds of hatred' after her comments about the police and pro-Palestinian marches.
If the Home Office is the graveyard for ministers, has Suella Braverman been digging her own hole?The ugly scenes that played out on the streets of London this weekend certainly haven't made the home secretary any safer in her job.Asked the now fabled question of whether she would still be in post in seven days' time, the best her cabinet colleague the defence secretary could muster was that 'a week is a long time in politics'.
On this, the Met have already said the violence in Westminster drew resources away from the main protest and they expect to make more arrests in the days ahead.But the accusation of bias also fails to appreciate the operational complexity faced by a force trying to keep the peace while hundreds of thousands of people are on the streets.
