The row over the Met’s policing of a pro-Palestinian rally in central London intensified on Monday as Scotland Yard chief Sir Mark Rowley was due to meet the Home Secretary.
Suella Braverman was asking Sir Mark to explain his force’s response after protesters who chanted “jihad” during the rally on Saturday were not arrested. She was set to tell him there can be “no place for incitement or hatred or violence” on Britain’s streets and urge him to “crack down on anyone breaking the law”.
