An official report from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services criticizes former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman for their comments on the Metropolitan Police's handling of pro-Palestinian protests.
The report highlights that their public statements risk damaging public trust in police impartiality.
The report, ordered by Braverman, was intended to address alleged police bias but instead criticized the Conservative government's approach.
It details incidents before Armistice Day 2023, where Braverman accused the police of double standards, leading to her eventual dismissal.
The report includes 22 recommendations to ensure police operational independence and calls for a review of the Equality Act.
