Home Secretary Suella Braverman is under fire for claiming police were ‘playing favourites’ with demonstrators.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has sparked a fresh row within the Conservative Party by accusing police of “playing favourites” with pro-Palestinian protesters, with the claim slapped down by a Cabinet colleague.
Questioned about Mrs Braverman’s claims of police bias, Transport Secretary Mark Harper directly contradicted her view. Sir Tom was more forthcoming in his criticism, describing her intervention as “unusual” and “unprecedented”. Prime Minister Mr Sunak on Wednesday hauled in Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley for an emergency meeting about the march planned in London, saying he would hold the Scotland Yard boss “accountable” if there was trouble.
“They are an assertion of primacy by certain groups – particularly Islamists – of the kind we are more used to seeing in Northern Ireland. Also disturbingly reminiscent of Ulster are the reports that some of Saturday’s march group organisers have links to terrorist groups, including Hamas.”
