CAMPAIGNERS welcomed Suella Braverman’s sacking from her home secretary role today — but braced for continued assaults on the right to protest.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak gave Ms Braverman the boot after she defied No10 by publishing an unapproved article which is widely blamed for inciting a far-right riot near the Cenotaph on Saturday.
The article for the Times accused police of “playing favourites” with pro-Palestinian protesters while targeting the far-right. Following the article she faced accusations of stoking tensions ahead of Saturday’s protest calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
