About this deal

Hundreds of thousands of people have taken part in a pro-Palestinian march in London today. The Metropolitan police said around 300,000 people had converged on the capital, while organisers of the event put the number closer to 800,000 and claimed it was one of the biggest marches in British history.

Nine police officers were injured on Saturday. Two officers required hospital treatment after preventing a violent crowd getting to the Cenotaph during a remembrance service. Surely, this weekend when we remember the fallen, among whom are many of those who fought and helped to end the Holocaust, other demonstrations can pause to allow us all to do so quietly and in confidence.” It’s welcome that the police have confirmed that the march will be away from the Cenotaph and they will ensure that the timings do not conflict with any Remembrance events. There remains the risk of those who seek to divide society using this weekend as a platform to do so. That is what I discussed with the Metropolitan Police Commissioner in our meeting. The Commissioner has committed to keep the Met Police’s posture under constant review based on the latest intelligence about the nature of the protests. In May, Kadyrov said Chechnya, which is a federal republic of Russia, had sent more than 26,000 fighters to Ukraine since the start of the war, including 12,000 volunteers and that at the time 7,000 of them were actively fighting. A Scottish Labour spokesperson said: “Marches are primarily a matter for the police and we understand there are ongoing discussions to ensure that protests do not disturb or impact Armistice Day events. Attempts from the home secretary to stoke division on this issue simply make the police’s job harder.It is because that sacrifice is so immense, that Saturday’s planned protest is not just disrespectful but offends our heartfelt gratitude to the memory of those who gave so much so that we may live in freedom and peace today. The home secretary, Suella Braverman, had said earlier in the week that waving a Palestinian flag might be a criminal offence. Few at the march in London seemed to take such a threat seriously, with a sea of Palestinian flags visible as the crowd moved slowly down Regent Street towards Whitehall. Six activists with Israel flags attended the demonstration as a counter-protest but they were outnumbered by pro-Palestine activists, PA reported.

While there have been expressions of support for Hamas at pro-Palestine rallies, many of those campaigning in support of Palestine do not support Hamas. Again, much of the crowd appeared willing to ignore such threats, with the chant frequently ringing around London’s West End.Officers earlier faced aggression from some of the counter-protesters - who include some far-right groups - near the Cenotaph war memorial, police say Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned what he described as "unacceptable scenes" across the day, saying violence "utterly disrespects" the armed forces A couple of weeks ago I decided that if the Saturday demonstrations calling for an end to the killing in Gaza and Israel continued, I would go to London on 11 November, because of the symbolism of that date. I shall not be doing so as a sign of support for Hamas, a violent and despicable organisation, but because I have been deeply affected by the scenes of death and devastation in the news. I shall be marching for a small boy, surrounded by siblings, standing in the ruins of his neighbourhood whose cry, “We’ve done nothing wrong”, has so much more power and honesty than UK politicians who seek to divide us with their claims that the marches are “hate‑filled” or “disrespectful”. Prime Minister RishiSunakcalled in Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley for an emergency meeting about a march planned in London, saying he would hold the Scotland Yard boss “accountable” if there was any trouble.

Met Police say nine officers were injured – two of them needing hospital treatment for a broken elbow and dislocated hip Nesrine Malik makes important points about the pro-Palestine marches. As she says, “There is a universal simplicity to the conflict that transcends political ideology – about the fundamental human right to full nationhood, to live in your home in safety and with dignity.” She and the marchers should recognise that this applies equally to Israelis, and protest equally strongly against Hamas’s barbarities. Without mutual empathy, the cycle will continue. The TV presenter and former England footballer Gary Lineker weighed into the row, defending the planned protests in a reply to the home secretary. In Edinburgh, thousands staged an impromptu march to the Scottish parliament, chanting “Free, free Palestine!” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as they made their way up The Mound and along Edinburgh’s famous Royal Mile.The fighters will form part of new units of the Russian defence ministry and the Russian National Guard forces. Commenting on the challenge of policing a crowd of the size that was at the pro-Palestinian march seen today, Twist said that it had been made more difficult by the violence of far-right protesters: I have been on three of the recent pro-Palestinian marches. In contrast to what Suella Braverman would have us believe, I’ve found nothing but solidarity and hope as I walked beside passionately engaged young people, families and children. Speaking to the BBC Radio 4's PM programme earlier, the former inspector of constabulary, Zoë Billingham, said Rowley had been "vindicated” in letting the protest go ahead.
