 UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under pressure to remove Home Secretary Suella Braverman

The senior Cabinet minister emphasized that Sunak "has full confidence in her" and that he had a fruitful working relationship with her, while obviously expressing disapproval of her views.

The controversy surrounding Suella Braverman's controversial newspaper piece criticizing the Metropolitan Police for how it handled Israel-Hamas riots in London is intensifying on Friday, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under pressure to fire Braverman.

Although Sunak's official spokesman at 10 Downing Street said that he had complete faith in the Home Secretary, they did affirm that her boss had not given her boss's approval for the whole text of The Times' opinion piece. The sharply worded article from Wednesday accused the Met Police of applying preferential treatment to some demonstrators and using double standards when it came to dealing with violent pro-Palestinian demonstrators. When questioned about the incident, UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt told television stations, "The words that she used are not ones that I myself would have used."

The senior Cabinet minister emphasized that Sunak "has full confidence in her" and that he had a fruitful working relationship with her, while obviously expressing disapproval of her views. It coincides with calls for her resignation from office from the opposition Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, alongside some members of Braverman's own Conservative Party due to her actions, which may have violated the ministerial code by allowing an article to be published without first receiving prime ministerial approval. One of the Labour shadow ministers urging Sunak to fire Braverman, Darren Jones, stated, "Suella Braverman... has a right her views but she should make them confidentially within the Cabinet meeting as well as the government should come to a clear position."

The Labour MP added that the policies she outlined in her Times essay "fundamentally breach her responsibility of being the Home Secretary" since the police should be the ones to choose how to keep our streets operationally orderly. The dispute is unfolding as it became known that over a thousand officers from other UK forces would be called upon to assist the Met Police this coming weekend, in response to strong political pressure to avoid interfering with Remembrance Day ceremonies. This Saturday is Armistice Day, an annual remembrance ceremony held on Whitehall, close to Downing Street, during which wreaths are strewn and a moment of silence is observed in honor of Britain's World War I heroes.

Pro-Palestinian organizations had planned a march for Saturday. The police were pressured to forbid it, but they refused, stating that their information did not support a complete ban since the march's path did not coincide with the Whitehall event. "In order to make tough operational choices independently, we in law enforcement need the necessary distance. "We make difficult decisions, but we do so impartially, fearlessly, and in accordance with the law and our approved professional practice," National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) chairman of England Gavin Stephens said. For the last few weekends, thousands of demonstrators have been asking for a ceasefire in the Gaza crisis on the streets of London and other major UK cities. As some breakaway groups turned to violence, such as racially motivated assaults and hurting on-duty police officers by shooting pyrotechnics into the crowd, some arrests have been made.

The Jewish community in Britain has hosted honorable vigils in London, but it is not what has put our ability to uphold public order to the test. Tens of thousands of enraged protestors have been rallied by the pro-Palestinian movement and marched through London every weekend. These rallies have been troublesome from the beginning, not just because of the violence that sometimes breaks out but also because of the very inflammatory nature of the stickers, posters, and chants. According to Braverman's opinion piece, now is not the moment for naivete. The controversial remarks-prone minister of Indian descent continued, saying, "I do not resile from condemning the hate marchers who intended to use Armistice Day to parade though London in yet another show of strength."
