Suella Braverman's Article Attacking Police 'Not Cleared' By No.10, Says Downing Street

Rishi Sunak did not sign off Suella Braverman’s article accusing the police of being biased towards left-wing protesters, according to Downing Street. The prime minister’s spokesperson stated that the text was not approved by No.10. However, Sunak still has full confidence in Braverman.

Contradicting the Home Secretary's Article

In direct contradiction to the home secretary's article, the spokesperson emphasized that the prime minister continues to believe that the police will operate without fear or favor. Braverman claimed that there is a perception that senior police officers play favorites when it comes to protesters. She highlighted the differential treatment of right-wing and nationalist protesters compared to pro-Palestinian mobs.

Calls for Braverman's Dismissal

Both Labour and the Lib Dems have called on Sunak to sack Braverman over her remarks. These remarks were made after Metropolitan Police commissioner Mark Rowley refused to ban a march scheduled for Saturday.
