Suella Braverman takes at at Labour during conference speech<\/h3>\n

Suella Braverman and her advisors ignored some requests from No.10 to edit her Times column criticising the Met Police\u2019s approach to Palestine marches, and comparing the scenes on the streets of London to those seen in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Last night No.10 refused to say whether they\u2019d signed off on the Home Secretary\u2019s op-ed in full, saying they couldn\u2019t comment on internal processes.<\/p>\n

However they failed to kill speculation that the Home Secretary may have published her piece without their full input and knowledge, which would represent a flouting of the official sign-off process.<\/p>\n

According to the Telegraph, Downing Street specifically requested a change to her comparisons between the London Palestine marches and Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Neither No.10 nor the Home Office have denied these allegations, though one source \u201cfamiliar with No. 10\u2019s thinking called it a \u2018disgrace\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n

Other outlets have also reported that the PM\u2019s office \u201cdidn\u2019t technically sign off\u201d on the article, although they did offer edits.<\/p>\n

Despite outrage around the op-ed, Ms Braverman\u2019s words have garnered support from her allies.<\/p>\n

One Tory MP told the Express this morning: \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how out of touch some of the wet MPs are within the Party. The vast majority of our voters and members agree with the bulk of what Suella has to say\u201d.<\/p>\n

Danny Kruger MP added: \u201cI think it\u2019s extraordinary people are saying she shouldn\u2019t be commenting on the way the police do their job\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added that the Met has a “double standard” over how they police the Palestine marches versus other protests such as those against lockdown.<\/p>\n
