The home secretary toned down her use of language on the eve of Armistice Day, where she said police had her 'full backing'. Despite this, many politicians blame her for inciting clashes between the police and far-right counter-protesters.
Suella Braverman has been accused of 'sowing the seeds of hatred' by Sir Keir Starmer after her comments about the police and pro-Palestinian marches. The Labour leader took aim at the home secretary after she branded pro-Palestinian demonstrations, including one which took place on Saturday in central London, 'hate marches' and accused the police of 'double standards' in the way they handle protests.
Addressing crowds from on top of a fire engine near Vauxhall, he said Mr Sunak and Ms Braverman's attempt to stop the march from going ahead has been 'shamed'. 'It seems that there's one million of us here today in London showing our solidarity with the people of Palestine, so Suella Braverman and Rishi Sunak's attempt to stop this has been shamed for what it is,' he said.
