Rishi Sunak has described a planned pro-Palestinian march in London on Armistice Day as 'disrespectful' - but has accepted the protest will go ahead. The prime minister met the chief of the Metropolitan Police this afternoon - and had vowed to hold Sir Mark Rowley 'accountable' for his decision to greenlight the demonstration on 11 November.
' Home Secretary Suella Braverman had called the pro-Palestinian demonstrations 'hate marches' - and said anyone who vandalised the Cenotaph on Armistice Day 'must be put into a jail cell faster than their feet can touch the ground'. Downing Street denied seeking to put pressure on the Met, which is operationally independent, and insisted the meeting was about 'seeking assurances' that their approach is 'robust'.
