TL;DR Summary

Grant Shapps, the UK Transport Secretary, has distanced himself from Home Secretary Suella Braverman's criticism of the police's handling of protests. Braverman referred to pro-Palestinian protesters as "hate marchers" and accused the police of a "double standard." Shapps stated that while it was appropriate for Braverman to debate the issue, he would not use the same language. Labour's Yvette Cooper called for Braverman's resignation, blaming her remarks for exacerbating disorder during the demonstrations. The Metropolitan Police made over 100 arrests during the protests and faced aggression from counter-protesters. The Prime Minister's office is investigating how Braverman's article was published without requested edits.
