Braverman sacked as UK home secretary after fueling far-rights against pro-Palestinians

Rogue UK home secretary Suella Braverman has been sacked after inflammatory comments over policing of protests as she is blamed for inciting more far-right violence over her calls for “further action” against pro-Palestinian marches in London.

After Braverman's departure, UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly is seen entering Number 10 Downing Street as the new home secretary.

All eyes are now on the front door of No 10, as journalists wait to catch a glimpse of the newly-announced Foreign Secretary David Cameron.

On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets in the British capital city to show solidarity with the innocent people of Palestine, demanding an end to the Israeli regime’s war of genocide in Gaza.

Prior to being sacked on Monday, the former home secretary had slammed the clashes that broke out with police during the rallies, even though the violence was linked to a far-right counter-protest that led to violent scuffles.

“This can’t go on. Week by week, the streets of London are being polluted by hate, violence, and antisemitism. Members of the public are being mobbed and intimidated. Jewish people in particular feel threatened. Further action is necessary,” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

She described the slogans chanted at the mass pro-Palestine rallies as “criminal.”

“The sick, inflammatory and, in some cases, clearly criminal chants, placards, and paraphernalia openly on display at the march mark a new low,” she said. “Anti-Semitism and other forms of racism together with the valorizing of terrorism on such a scale is deeply troubling.”

The UK’s Metropolitan Police (MET) said the rightwing counter-protesters had made up the “vast majority” of 145 arrests made by the law enforcement agency on Saturday.

MET described the clashes between its officers and the right-wingers as “extreme violence” and said the political debate about policing protests had combined “to increase community tensions.”

Braverman has been described by friends and foes alike as being recklessly irresponsible and incendiary.

The UK Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer accused Braverman of sowing the “seeds of hatred,” while Labour’s London mayor Sadiq Khan said the violence was “the direct result” of her words and behavior

Braverman aroused No.10’s fury by ignoring Downing Street’s request that she tone down an opinion piece for the Times.

In the controversial article for The Times, she branded Saturday’s pro-Palestine protest a “hate march” and accused the police of “playing favorites” among protestors and taking a tougher line against rightwing protests.

UK’s prime minister had been urged to fire Braverman by many within his government who believed she was looking for a pretext to resign in order to succeed him as leader.
