right—wing protesters — which she said was "rightly stern" — with what she called "pro—palestinian mobs", who she said were "largely ignored". it's unusual for a home secretary to criticise the police in public and number ten said it did not clear the article, and that suggested changes were not followed. her remarks precede a planned pro—palestinian march for a ceasefire in gaza, which is due to take place in london on saturday, armistice day. let's go to westminster and to our political editor, chris mason. forjust a moment put politics to one side and imagine this scenario in your own life. you ignore the boss, you undermine the boss, you humiliate the boss. i hazard a guess it would undermine your own job security. and then, as far as the home secretary is concerned, is what she actually had to say. those in charge here at the home office command one of the great offices of state — home secretary. the latest tenant here, suella braverman, approaches thejob with a bluntness unlike any of her predecessors. writing in the times, she says... so close, yet so far apart — just look at their body language the other day. a penny for what it would look like now. rishi sunak�*s spokesman said he had not signed off braverman�*s article, so she undermined his authority and divided her party. it is right that the home secretary should opine on the way the police do theirjob, especially around these important matters, and what we are seeing here, i'm afraid to say, as the home secretary says, is a double standards, not deliberate, i don't believe it is intentional, but it bears what you might call an unconscious bias. i think she has gone over the line. it is part of a history of ill judgment and loose words. and of all the jobs in government, home secretary is one of those where you have to be particularly careful. two clear views on the backbenches, and now this from a cabinet minister, deploying multi—syllabic vocabulary to say diddly squat. suella is a friend of mine and one of the things i know is, being home secretary, and having seen a number of other friends do the job, it is a tough and pressurised job. but do you agree with her? well, again, iwould not want to interpolate myself into that conversation. but one minister was willing to be more candid and ultimately critical of the home secretary's view. the veterans minister encouraged people to come here to the cenotaph in central london this weekend and added... i have always found the police carry out their work without fear or favour. they do a really good job, they have a really tough job at the moment, especially with what is going on. the key context of all of this is suella braverman has form when it comes to saying things which delights the monday leave others�* draws on the carpet. there was this last month. the draws on the carpet. there was this last month-— draws on the carpet. there was this last month. the wind of change that carried my own _ last month. the wind of change that carried my own parents _ last month. the wind of change that carried my own parents across - last month. the wind of change that carried my own parents across the l carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming. find gust compared to the hurricane that is cominu. �* , ., , is coming. and here is how she describes _ is coming. and here is how she describes the _ is coming. and here is how she describes the pro-palestinian l is coming. and here is how she - describes the pro-palestinian march describes the pro—palestinian march is. to describes the pro-palestinian march is. ., , �* , describes the pro-palestinian march is. ., , h ., , describes the pro-palestinian march is. ., , describes the pro-palestinian march is. to my mind there's only one way to describe — is. to my mind there's only one way to describe those _ is. to my mind there's only one way to describe those marches, - is. to my mind there's only one way to describe those marches, they - is. to my mind there's only one way. to describe those marches, they hate marches. find to describe those marches, they hate marches. �* ~ , �* ., ., ., marches. and mrs brava and said some homeless peeple _ marches. and mrs brava and said some homeless people live _ marches. and mrs brava and said some homeless people live in _ marches. and mrs brava and said some homeless people live in tents _ marches. and mrs brava and said some homeless people live in tents as - marches. and mrs brava and said some homeless people live in tents as a - homeless people live in tents as a lifestyle choice. the labour leader was asked if she should be sacked and said, it�*s not my call. i was asked if she should be sacked and said, it's not my call.- and said, it's not my call. i think the question _ and said, it's not my call. i think the question is _ and said, it's not my call. i think the question is really _ and said, it's not my call. i think the question is really for - and said, it's not my call. i think the question is really for the - and said, it's not my call. i think. the question is really for the prime minisien _ he must know that this isn't the way in which a home secretary should behave. he's got a home secretary who is out of control and he is too weak to do anything about it. thejob is not finished yet, there�*s still a lot more to do. well, it might be, you know. what does rishi sunak do next? and is suella braverman�*s critique of the police reasonable? chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. so is there any evidence of bias in policing of different protests? our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is here to take a look. thanks, reeta. saturday — when the march which started this row is due to take place — is armistice day, the day we mark the end of the first world war. at 11 o�*clock there will be a ceremony at the cenotaph in whitehall. so at the police�*s request the organisers are avoiding westminster. they�*re starting their palestine solidarity protest at hyde park at midday, and are then marching to the us embassy. the law that allows police chiefs to stop marches is section 13 of the public order act of 1986. it says the head of the metropolitan police can ban a march — with the home secretary�*s consent — if there is a risk of it "resulting in serious public disorder". but in this case sir mark rowley didn�*t feel he had the evidence, because previous marches in the last month have gone off relatively peacefully, so he didn�*t go for a ban despite the home secretary�*s entreaties. but political protests have been banned in the past. a whole series of far right edl marches were banned between 2010 and 2012. that�*s where suella braverman�*s allegations of bias come from. is it one rule for the left and one rule for the right? well, at that time there had been a number of previous edl protests which had turned violent, so there was a reason for police to push for the ban. and the man who recently stood down as the chief inspector of constabulary says he has seen no signs of bias this week. under this commissioner, the policing i think is very evenhanded. i think it has been under previous commissioners as well, and therefore i think the accusation of having favourites and partiality is misconceived and ill—advised, and should not have been made. in her controversial article arguing that police were "playing favourites", suella braverman also highlighted the differences during the covid pandemic between how anti—lockdown protests and black lives matter protests were policed. and this is a more uncomfortable comparison for scotland yard because statistics show that in london many more people were arrested for breaching covid regulations at anti—lockdown protests than at the main black lives matter demonstrations, even though some of them were happening at around the same time. so, why didn�*t sir mark rowleyjust do what the home secretary asked and ban saturday�*s march at her request? well, he thought that would be unlawful. and injuly, suella braverman herself renewed the rules under which forces work — which say "the operational independence of the police is a fundamental principle of british policing". daniel, thank you. let�*s speak again to chris mason. is suella braverman going to survive this? that is the big question for the two reasons we�*ve been exploring. her views and her vocabulary, and the frequency with which she is grabbing attention, and so irritating quite a lot of her colleagues whilst delighting some others. why then is the home secretary saying all of this stuff? she does aspire one day to lead her party unpleasing those who might make that happen does matter, but there is a more simple, straightforward reason, which is that she believes what she is saying. it is her authentic view and has been for a long time. then there is the question about her undermining the prime minister and downing street today was clearly livid at that whole business of the article appearing with words in it that downing street did not want to see in it. so what does the prime minister do? if he keeps her in place, critics, not least the labour leader, says it proves that you are weak. if he gets rid of her, he creates a martyr on the backbenches. so where is rishi sunak tonight? he is on planet awkward.— is on planet awkward. chris, thank ou ve is on planet awkward. chris, thank you very much- _ is on planet awkward. chris, thank you very much. daniel, _ is on planet awkward. chris, thank you very much. daniel, you - is on planet awkward. chris, thank| you very much. daniel, you showed is on planet awkward. chris, thank - you very much. daniel, you showed us the root of the march which is going ahead this saturday. does it make the job of the police ahead this saturday. does it make thejob of the police harder ahead this saturday. does it make the job of the police harder now, given this row?— the job of the police harder now, given this row?

well, my thoughts now, are totally not in men�*s football, my thoughts are with the women�*s game and what we can do, and i really love myjob here, for the fa and with england. having won the euros last year, an emotional wiegman kissed a bracelet belonging to her sister, who tragedy died from illness a few weeks earlier, a loss she has written about in her autobiography. was that victory the perfect way to pay tribute to her?
