The British prime minister is facing intensifying calls to sack Suella Braverman for stoking tensions ahead of Armistice Day protests, with Keir Starmer accusing her of spawning “hatred and distrust”.

Pressure mounted on Mrs Braverman amid scenes of far-right violence towards officers on Saturday, after she branded pro-Palestinian demonstrators “hate marchers” and accused the police of bias for letting the rally go ahead.
