First Minister Humza Yousaf has accused Suella Braverman of emboldening far-right protesters after some clashed with police as they tried to reach the Cenotaph.The 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.Mr Yousaf said Mrs Braverman inflammatory rhetoric had encouraged the behaviour and called for her resignation.He tweeted: “The far right has been emboldened by the Home Secretary.
She has spent her week fanning the flames of division. They are now attacking the police on Armistice Day.“The Home Secretary’s position is untenable.
She must resign.”Her claims that police were biased for letting the march go ahead prompted widespread criticism and calls for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to sack her.Pressure mounted on the Cabinet minister as the Metropolitan Police said officers had faced “aggression” from counter-protesters ahead of Saturday’s service in Whitehall.A large crowd of people bearing St George flags was seen walking along Embankment and shouting “England ’til I die” shortly after 10am on Saturday.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
