PRESSURE mounted on Rishi Sunak last night to sack Suella Braverman following shameful scenes in the capital yesterday.
Some 2,000 far-right protesters, including thugs led by ex-EDL chief Tommy Robinson, turned out on Armistice Day and clashed with police after the Home Secretary branded proGaza supporters "hate marchers".
The worst violence came before the 11am minute's silence.
There was also trouble from some pro-Palestinian demonstrators. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the unrest was "a direct result of Ms Braverman's "words and behaviour" - and she should resign or be sacked.
The PM said: "I condemn the violent, wholly unacceptable scenes we have seen."
MET WITH FORCE
POLICE battled missile-throwing thugs trying to hijack a massive pro-Palestinian protest on Armistice Day.
Around 2,000 far-right hooligans flocked to London amid tensions stirred by Home Secretary Suella Braverman days before.
Last night, politicians and campaigners demanded her sacking for "fanning the flames of division".
Shortly after 10am, scuffles broke out as officers tried to stop a crowd carrying St George flags marching towards the Cenotaph.
The group, which had been chanting "England till I die", pushed through the police barrier with some shouting "let's have them as officers hit out with batons.
Some chanted anti-Islamic slurs.
Other clashes took place in Chinatown - led by former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson with yobs chanting: "You're not English any more" at officers. Robinson Yaxley-Lennon real name Stephen - was only reinstated on Twitter last week.
Thugs were held during scuffles in front of Parliament, where the group jeered at police: "You've let your country down". Police said they arrested more than 100 of the yobs.
