Tensions have escalated in the UK as pro-Palestinian supporters defaced a war memorial in Rochdale before Armistice Day, prompting police to stand guard. The Metropolitan Police faced criticism and warnings over allowing a pro-Palestine rally to proceed on Remembrance Day. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak demanded assurances for the safety of the pro-Palestinian march, leading to a political debate with the police chief. Home Secretary Suella Braverman accused the police of favoring pro-Palestinian demonstrators, sparking a clash with the Scotland Yard chief. The government condemned the police for alleged selective treatment in handling pro-Palestinian marches, while the Chief Rabbi condemned anti-Israel marches by Palestinian activists. The situation has become politically charged, with criticism and accusations directed at the Home Secretary and the police, and calls for unity from the Mayor of London.

“A home secretary should have more important things to do than advance her own cause in this provocative way.” Former culture secretary David Mellor says Suella Braverman’s comments about the police “makes the government look in a total mess”. #TalkTV https://t.co/oI4RQDmyCu
The Home Secretary’s comments are incorrect, irresponsible and inflammatory. As politicians we must work to bring communities together, not stoke division. https://t.co/bqOwxP9irA
"We know what she's up to" Suella Braverman faces criticism from Yvette Cooper in the House of Commons, who attacks the home secretary's "dangerous" comments on pro-Palestinian protests and homelessness https://t.co/AHbMSuyQzu https://t.co/WQ7XBVYS44
Suella is right – the Met’s double standards are a disgrace. The same police force that’ll smash down your door over a crude Facebook comment are turning a blind eye to rampant anti-Semitism. The police have clearly taken sides, says Fraser Myers https://t.co/kBr9kda99X
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak demanded assurances from London's police chief that a pro-Palestinian march scheduled for Saturday would be held safely https://t.co/elhlelfedc
“There’s no doubt that Suella Braverman sees herself as a potential prime minister and leader of the Conservative Party.” The Home Secretary’s ‘provocative comments’ have been seen as an attempt to secure her position as a replacement for Rishi Sunak. @TVKev | @ThatAlexWoman https://t.co/ms1bdX7Tb5
Authoritarian British officials (excuse the redundancy) continue to demand the police ban a pro-Palestinian march scheduled for Sunday in London. Amazingly, it's the Police Chief refusing, saying the legal threshold to ban a protest hasn't been met: https://t.co/kVPMkpR3fY

Julia says Suella Braverman is right to accuse the police of of “playing favourites” with protesters. “The police do police different protests differently, in 2020 with Black Lives Matter they were on the knee for goodness' sake - despicable, horrific scenes.” @JuliaHB1 https://t.co/fNSA4IIBgG

“How do they physically stop people descending on Whitehall on Saturday?” Rishi Sunak plans to hold the Metropolitan Police Commissioner accountable for allowing a pro-Palestinian demonstration on Armistice Day, calling it "disrespectful." @TVKev | @ThatAlexWoman https://t.co/EVFbSzdEzk
Just in🔥 Rishi Sunak said he will hold the chief of the Metropolitan Police "accountable" if anything should happen for allowing a pro-Palestine demonstration to go ahead on Saturday. What an absolute dumpster fire this is turning into. https://t.co/LKAw2vmv00
