No10 said the Prime Minister retained full confidence in the Home Secretary as officials continued to look into how the article accusing the police of \u201cplaying favourites\u201d towards pro-Palestine protesters was published.<\/p>\n
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt became the most senior figure to distance himself from his Cabinet colleague as the row continued to fuel splits in the Conservative Party.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cAs many other Cabinet ministers have said, the words she used are not words I myself would have used.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I have a productive relationship with her as a colleague and I have always given her the money that she needs to fund police, bring down crime and to fund the immigration and \u00adasylum system.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs Braverman\u2019s article suggested people on Gaza demonstrations are \u201clargely ignored, even when clearly breaking the law\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak will decide if the Home Secretary\u2019s actions have breached the \u00administerial code and whether he should sack her.<\/p>\n But senior Tory MPs on the Right of the party warned against firing Ms Braverman, insisting she was speaking for the \u201csilent majority\u201d.<\/p>\n And Conservative peer Lord Jackson stressed that Mr Sunak was in a \u201cshaky position\u201d and sacking the Home Secretary would \u201cbackfire\u201d.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cHe\u2019s not in a good position. His conference speech didn\u2019t go that well, neither did The King\u2019s Speech. There was not much sausage and even less sizzle.<\/p>\n \u201cAs we go forward, he has to try to unite the party. Firing one of the great offices of state-holders will not be a great decision. It would really backfire quite badly on Rishi Sunak.\u201d<\/p>\n Tory MP Nick Fletcher said the Home Secretary had simply called for the police to address the \u201clack of balance which seems to stare at us in the face\u201d. He added: \u201cMaintaining public support for the police and their methods is absolutely crucial for our democracy \u2013 Suella Braverman understands the crucial importance of this and that something must change.<\/p>\n \u201cAs we approach one of the most important dates in our national calendar \u2013 Remembrance Sunday \u2013 and the prospect of further calls for Jihad and displays of hate and anti-Semitism on our streets, our Home Secretary has reminded the police the public will expect to see \u2018an assertive and proactive approach to any displays of hate, breaches of conditions and general disorder\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cThe silent majority of people agree with her and will respect and appreciate her call for review and rebalance. She has my full support.\u201d A show of support for Mrs Braverman comes as she met Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley yesterday.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> ![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/secondary\/5060851.jpg?r=1699703942160\")
