A report she commissioned as home secretary says the Tory MP should have paid 'close attention to the risk of any improper political interference' when chastising the Metropolitan Police over its handling of pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
Former home secretary Suella Braverman has been criticised by a watchdog for publicly condemning the Metropolitan Police over its handling of pro-Palestinian protests in the capital.
' Mr Cooke said there was a 'delicate balance to strike' between the operational independence of chief constables and the need of accountability and governance. But he said senior officers had reported 'improper pressure or interference from significant political figures', and the review found 'overt attempts to influence operational policing challenge the police's impartiality and could reduce public trust'.
