Rishi Sunak said he will hold Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley “accountable” for his decision to greenlight a pro-Palestinian demonstration on Armistice Day and that they will meet later on Wednesday.
Speaking during a visit to a school in Lincolnshire, the Prime Minister told broadcasters: “This is a decision that the Metropolitan Police Commissioner has made.
“He has said that he can ensure that we safeguard remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the public safe.
“Now, my job is to hold him accountable for that.
“We’ve asked the police for information on how they will ensure that this happens. I’ll be meeting the Metropolitan Police Commissioner later today to discuss this.
“More broadly, my view is that these marches are disrespectful and that’s what I’ll be discussing with the police commissioner later today.”
