Left: Conservative Party Home Secretary Suella Braverman, "These are hate marches" Right: Former Co-Chair of the Conservative Party Baroness Warsi, "Israel is not Netanyahu, the Palestinian people are not Hamas, and the protestors on the streets of London are neither protesting for Hamas, nor are they hate marches" "Protests planned for weeks. They were in discussions with the Met police for weeks. The route was well away from the Cenotaph for weeks. And yet last week the Home Secteray decided to embolden and make this a political issue knowing full well what the route of the march was going to be" "That's the way she operates, she fights culture wars. She doesn't fix things, she breaks things" "I think Suella Braverman is dangerous and divisive. If you look at her rhetoric, it's always about pitching A against B" "Some of my Conservative colleagues in government project as patriots but they are indeed arsonists. They’ve set this country alight. They pit community against community. They create these fires. That is not the job of a government. The job of a government is to keep us all safe. You do that by creating a sense of ease, not by fighting culture wars"
