British PM Rishi Sunak Fires Home Sec. Who Branded Pro-Palestinian Marches "Hate Crimes"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fired hard-right Home Secretary
Suella Braverman after she called protests for Palestinian rights "hate
marches" and published an op-ed last week accusing the London police
force of using "double standards" in dealing with protesters against the
war. Braverman was accused of fomenting right-wing hatred. In a
surprising move, Rishi Sunak has brought back former Prime Minister
David Cameron to act as foreign secretary amid a wider cabinet
reshuffle.
