Rishi Sunak is under pressure to sack Suella Braverman after she defied Downing Street by publishing an article accusing the Met Police of bias over protests in support of Palestine.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has come under fire for making controversial statements about Israel-Hamas war protests in the UK. In the Times, she described pro-Palestinian protesters as 'hate marchers'. She also likened the protests to scenes from the past in Northern Ireland, prompting politicians there to accuse her of 'deliberately stoking division'.

So, how do the Conservatives solve a problem like Suella?The Sky New Daily’s Niall Paterson is joined by David Blevins, our senior Ireland correspondent, to find out why her comments haven’t gone down well there.
