Suella Braverman slammed for saying anti-war demos are 'hate marches'

The Home Secretary was slammed on Tuesday after she described protests attended by tens of thousands in support of Middle East peace as “hate marches”.Following a meeting on Monday of the Government’s COBRA emergencies committee, Suella Braverman seized on isolated anti-Israel chanting from the weekend crowds seen in London and elsewhere since murderous raids by Hamas terrorists ignited the latest conflict on October 7.Labour shadow minister Sir Chris Bryant responded on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Her comments yesterday were absolutely reprehensible. Saying every single person in those marches was involved in a hate march, well that patently isn’t true and it makes it more difficult for police to do their job properly.”
