TL;DR Summary

Turmoil ensues in the UK government as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces criticism for his handling of a pro-Palestinian march scheduled on Armistice Day. Sunak initially wanted to prevent the march, fearing vandalism to the Cenotaph monument, but later conceded to the importance of the freedom to protest. Home Secretary Suella Braverman further escalated tensions by accusing the police of bias and referring to the protesters as "hate marchers." This controversy raises questions about Sunak's authority and exposes divisions within the Conservative Party, which is struggling to present a clear vision for the future.
