Deep dives

Should Suella Braverman go?

There is a debate over whether Suella Braverman, the home secretary, should be dismissed. Braverman has accused the police of political bias, particularly in their handling of pro-Palestinian and right-wing nationalist protests. Some argue that her remarks undermine the police and that she should do more to support their work, while others feel she is raising valid concerns about the safety of Jewish people. The issue has sparked a broader discussion about hate crimes, freedom of speech, and the role of the home secretary in relation to the police.
