PA
Former home secretary Suella Braverman has accused the Met Police of allowing "flagrantly antisemitic" sentiment run riot in London.
Braverman has called for the force's chief, Sir Mark Rowley, to resign or be sacked.
We asked GB News Members: "Have the Met Police let antisemitism take hold?"
Braverman's demands have been echoed by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, who claim antisemites have become "emboldened" under his leadership.
Writing in a Sunday newspaper, she said: "After this week, I’m beginning to wonder if this cornerstone of our policing still stands.
In an exclusive poll for GB News an overwhelming majority (96 per cent) of the 897 voters thought the Met has let antisemitism take hold, while just four per cent thought the police had it under control.
GBN Members were sure of the situation; zero voters said they did not know.

"I’ve seen too much fear and even more favouritism in the policing of pro-Palestinian protests."
She warned that "Jewish people were forced out of London at weekends and told to keep their heads down" in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7 last year.
"Over the past six months, we’ve seen failure after failure by the Met", she wrote.
"Chants of jihad on the streets have been condoned by the police; advisers to the Met have been found to hold repellent views; a man carrying a placard stating that 'Hamas are terrorists' was arrested, while those who are flagrantly anti-Semitic are waved on by the police."
