Read our privacy notice Rishi Sunak is under pressure from opposition MPs and even some Tories to sack Suella Braverman after she defied Downing Street by writing an article accusing police of bias in allowing pro-Palestinian protests. The home secretary’s claim that some senior officers apparently “play favourites” was not signed off by No 10, the prime minister’s spokesman made clear. Downing Street says it is investigating how the article containing an inflammatory comparison between “pro-Palestinian mobs” and marches in Northern Ireland was still sent to The Times for publication. But a spokesman said Mr Sunak still had full confidence in the home secretary. She claimed “mob” protesters were “largely ignored” by officers “even when clearly breaking the law” before another London rally on Armistice Day. No 10 contradicted her claims of police bias, and a Tory ex-cabinet minister said many of their peers believed she should be “returned to the backbenches”. Yvette Cooper and LibDem leader Sir Ed Davey suggested Ms Braverman should be sacked. Sir Ed said she was “putting police officers in harm’s way” and had significantly increased the risk of violence towards officers. On the other side Muslim community leaders in UK request to the community to make the protest peaceful. They send a request to community groups,
"Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, has put himself on the line to oppose the Tories and allow the pro Palestine protest to go ahead on Saturday, 11th November, 12 Noon Hyde Park, London. If you attend, please make sure that you stop anyone causing violence and stop any violence, and talk down any violent protestors. Israel is losing the media war. Therefore, Rupert Murdoch and his press will pay people to incite violence and film it to incite anti Palestinian sentiment and stop the British public from supporting the Palestinians. This is their last chance to turn the public opinion against the Palestinians. Therefore, they will try everything. Hence, it is critical that everyone stops violent protestors. Take lots of Union Jack flags to the protest, too."
