The Metropolitan Police made more than 100 arrests yesterday, the 'vast majority' far-right football hooligans who pelted officers with bottles, cans and metal fences.
Sir Keir Starmer has accused Suella Braverman of 'sowing the seeds of hatred' and 'demeaning her office' as pressure grows on Rishi Sunak to sack her following violent scenes on Armistice Day.
Sir Keir said her and the Prime Minister's treatment of the police and protesters showed a 'lack of respect for this country's values and its principles' There has been speculation that the Prime Minister will carry out a ministerial reshuffle, which could see Mrs Braverman moved, but not before next week's Supreme Court ruling on the Rwanda deportation policy championed by her.
But he said blanket calls to cancel the rallies and Government attempts to brand protesters they do not agree with as extremists are 'a sign of ministers' cowardice'.
