On a seismic day of change at number 10…
Ms Braverman’s critics blamed the violent clashes on Armistice Day between pro-Palestinian protesters and far-right thugs on the former home secretary’s divisive comments about police officers.
She sparked outrage late last week after she accused the Met in The Times of favoring left-wing pro-Palestinian and BLM protesters over right-wing marches.
At large protests over the weekend, Palestinian activists dressed as Hamas killers and right-wing thugs injured police officers.

Amid the violent scenes, Ms. Braverman came out swinging for her career.
The Labor mayor of London, Scotland’s first minister and a number of Labor MPs have called on her to leave.
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper insisted she could not stay in her job.
But supporters of the former home secretary said she had vindicated herself in warning against two-tier policing at the weekend and had been proven right that there would be clashes.
Ms Braverman said: “Unfortunately, there is a perception that senior police officers are favorites when it comes to protesters. Why, during Covid, did the law and order police not object to isolation, and Lives Black Matters protesters were enabled, allowed to break the rules, and even greeted with kneeling cops?
“Right-wing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a harsh response, and pro-Palestinian groups who exhibit almost identical behavior are largely ignored, even when they are clearly breaking the law.”
On the eve of the prime minister’s major reconstruction, the allies of the ousted interior minister were angry.
Many saw her as their ideological representative at the cabinet table and a force to oppose more moderate Tory MPs.
