British Prime Minister Under Pressure to Dismiss Home Secretary

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing increasing pressure today, Friday, to dismiss one of his senior ministers, Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, after she published a controversial article criticizing the police's handling of a pro-Palestinian march scheduled to take place. In an opinion piece published in The Times, Braverman accused the police of exhibiting "double standards" in their approach to protests, particularly pro-Palestinian marches. She described the protests as "hate marches" and labeled participants as "mob," despite no incidents of violence occurring. Some politicians from the Conservative Party have called for her to be moved to another position and distanced themselves from her statements today. Braverman, who is responsible for police and national security, has a long history of making controversial remarks that have alienated her from more moderate colleagues.
