Did the home secretary provoke far-right protests in London? The Mayor of London, Scotland’s first minister and senior Conservatives are among those blaming Suella Braverman, after police clashed with far-right crowds leading to dozens of arrests. Paraic O'Brien reports.

This morally reprehensible Home Secretary does not speak for me or I believe the majority in this country. We are so much better, so much kinder, more tolerant & compassionate than the unimaginably awful future she represents. Her actions this week are indefensible. No politician

Calls for Sunak to sack Braverman are Sunday’s The Mirror splash after Far Right thugs she incited clashed with police near the Cenotaph while Palestinian supporters were on a march she wanted banned in another part of London.

I can no longer contain my rage at this - millions of children are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks & all the LEVELING UP SECRETARY is asked about is how we can deport more migrants! If you share my rage RT this widely. I make absolutely no excuses for my anger

Having suffered the horror of being spiked, I’ve spent years campaigning to make it a specific criminal offence. The Home Secretary has undermined our work when he laughed at spiking — giving perpetrators a green light. RT if you agree he should be fired. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Veterans minister Johnny Mercer was furious after being presented with figures suggesting a 14% rise in the number of homeless ex-military.  Fortunately, someone was on hand to show him how that figure was calculated

Should you require any further evidence of how the UK media works, they’ve been silent on this issue for the FOUR YEARS that Elphicke was a Conservative MP, she defects to Labour and within FOUR DAYS it’s front page news.

This is an incredible illustration of how completely bent the Tories are & how completely commonplace it is now. Here, they’re saying, is a ‘scandal’ we have kept secret for four years - please use it to attack Labour, who knew absolutely nothing about it. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

In an interview with Laura Kuenssberg, Nadhim Zahawi says that "on reflection, maybe he should have been clearer" that he was under investigation from HMRC. He was pretty clear there was no investigation when he paid lawyers to send me legal threats:

The biggest story today is that the then-Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice was a direct witness to a criminal attempt to pervert the course of justice, and covered it up for four years because it involved one of his political allies.
