Suella Braverman has been accused of emboldening far-right protesters after some clashed with police as they tried to reach the Cenotaph war memorial in London this morning. 

The UK's home secretary has been under fire from all sides after branding pro-Palestinian demonstrators “hate marchers” and “Islamists” intending to use Armistice Day to dominate the streets of London.
