Clashes break out between police and far-right crowds close to Cenotaph

Rishi Sunak is facing massive pressure to sack Suella Braverman after her “hate” jibe at pro-Palestinian demonstrators blew up in her face.

The mass rally of around 300,000 people in London passed off without a single arrest while more than 90 far-right thugs who turned up to confront them were detained by police after a series of violent clashes.

The home secretary has been accused of inciting the violence by claiming police were biased against right-wing protesters in their refusal to ban the pro-Palestine march.
