TL;DR Summary

UK's Home Secretary Suella Braverman accuses London's police force of showing pro-Palestinian bias and taking a softer stance towards left-wing causes, escalating tensions over the handling of a planned pro-Palestinian march on Armistice Day. Braverman has been critical of the protesters, calling them "hate marches" and "mobs" that threaten the Jewish community. Her comments have deepened tensions with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office, but Sunak still has full confidence in Braverman. Critics accuse her of stoking division and undermining the police, while Braverman argues that certain groups, particularly Islamists, are asserting their primacy. The issue comes ahead of a large rally expected on Saturday, prompting fears of violence.
