Summary
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has come under fire for making controversial statements about Israel-Hamas war protests in the UK. <br /><br />In the Times she described pro-Palestinian protesters as "hate marchers". She also likened the protests to scenes from the past in Northern Ireland, prompting politicians there to accuse her of “deliberately stoking division”. <br /><br />Ms Braverman has also publicly slated the Metropolitan Police, which is allowing a pro-Palestinian march to go ahead on Armistice Day. She said the force was guilty of "double standards" and favouring left-wing protesters over those on the right of politics. <br /><br />So, how do the Conservatives solve a problem like Suella? The Sky New Daily’s Niall Paterson is joined by David Blevins, our senior Ireland correspondent, to find out why her comments haven’t gone down well there. <br /><br />Plus, Sir Peter Fahy, former chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, explains how the home secretary's comments are a serious breach of operational independence. And our deputy political editor Sam Coates looks at the fallout in Downing Street. <br /><br />Producer: Alex Edden<br />Interviews Producer: Melissa Tutesigensi<br />Promotions Producer: David Chipakupaku<br />Editor: Paul Stanworth
