Overview

• Suella Braverman, the former Home Secretary, was sacked after her attempts to ban pro-Palestinian demonstrations and accusing the police of bias, which led to bolstering the far-right presence in London.
• Despite the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, British leaders remain supportive of Israel's military campaign, refusing to call for a ceasefire.
• Labour leader Keir Starmer is facing a potential rebellion from his party over his refusal to support a ceasefire, with multiple members of his frontbench team reportedly on the brink of resignation.
• Naz Shah, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Crime Reduction, effectively quit her position in defiance of Starmer's stance, voting for an immediate ceasefire.
• Despite the political divide, an overwhelming majority of Britons back a ceasefire, and the protest movement calling for a ceasefire is reportedly the largest in Britain in 20 years.
