Braverman branded ‘out of control’ for claiming police biased against right-wing protesters

Suella Braverman has been accused of being “out of control”, after blasting the Metropolitan Police, following the commissioner’s decision not to ban this week’s pro-Palestinian march.

She claimed a double standard exists within the Met, saying that while right-wing protesters who are violent “are rightly met with a stern response”, “pro-Palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored”.

She also questioned why protests for Black Lives Matter were allowed to go ahead during the COVID pandemic, while “lockdown objectors were given no quarter by public order police”.
