CAMPAIGNERS today slammed the “irresponsible comments” of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak claiming that Britain was descending into “mob rule.”

The organisations which have together called the immense demonstrations of solidarity with the Palestinian people warned that the government was threatening “the long tradition of freedom of protest and expression in this country” and its dire picture bore no “resemblance to reality.”

Mr Sunak has bludgeoned police chiefs into agreeing a new protocol to clamp down on democratic protests.
