James Cleverly has vowed to criticise police in private in a veiled swipe at Suella Braverman, who was sacked after she accused Metropolitan Police chiefs of bias in their handling of the pro-Palestine protests.
In his first speech to police chiefs, the newly appointed home secretary said he would “back” police forces and be critical where needed but he would do so “professionally, calmly, directly so that we always maintain that professional working relationship”.
