Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday that he will hold Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley “accountable” after the police chief rejected calls to ban a pro-Palestinian protest on Armistice Day this Saturday.
The prime minister, who has branded Armistice Day protests “provocative and disrespectful” and warned of risks they may bring, said the decision on whether or not to allow the march rests with Sir Mark Rowley, and he will hold the commissioner accountable for his job to maintain safety during the events.
