Suella Braverman has sparked outrage after an op-ed published in The Times accused police of bias towards protest groups and called pro-Palestinian protesters “hate marchers”.<\/p>\n

She wrote: \u201cRightwing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored, even when clearly breaking the law?<\/p>\n

“I have spoken to serving and former police officers who have noted this double standard.”<\/p>\n

The Home Secretary is now facing calls from both Labour and the Liberal Democrats to be sacked.<\/p>\n

There are concerns her comments may incite violence against police officers this weekend, when thousands of protesters are planning to descend upon London for a Pro-Palestine march.<\/p>\n

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said the Prime Minister should sack Ms Braverman, saying: \u201cSuella Braverman is now putting police officers in harm\u2019s way ahead of far-right protesters flocking to the capital this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Home Secretary\u2019s irresponsible words and foul actions have significantly increased the likelihood of unrest this weekend and the risk of violence towards officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said in the Commons: “Does this Government still believe in the operational independence of the police, and how can it do so while this Home Secretary is in post?\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Lee Anderson has come to Ms Braverman’s defence saying: “The Home Secretary is only saying what most people are thinking.<\/p>\n

“She is allowed to comment on and criticise the Met Police. Anyone who thinks her comments are outrageous need to get out more.”<\/p>\n

Former Brexit minister Lord David Frost also defended Ms Braverman tweeting: “She is in my view correct to call out a lack of even-handedness in the way some demonstrations, and indeed some opinions, are policed. Saying anything else invites people to disbelieve their eyes.”<\/p>\n
