Home Secretary Suella Braverman has come under fire for making controversial statements about Israel-Hamas war protests in the UK.
In the Times she described pro-Palestinian protesters as "hate marchers". She also likened the protests to scenes from the past in Northern Ireland, prompting politicians there to accuse her of “deliberately stoking division”.
Ms Braverman has also publicly slated the Metropolitan Police, which is allowing a pro-Palestinian march to go ahead on Armistice Day. She said the force was guilty of "double standards" and favouring left-wing protesters over those on the right of politics.
So, how do the Conservatives solve a problem like Suella? The Sky News Daily’s Niall Paterson is joined by David Blevins, our senior Ireland correspondent, to find out why her comments haven’t gone down well there.
Plus, Sir Peter Fahy, former chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, explains how the home secretary's comments are a serious breach of operational independence. And our deputy political editor Sam Coates looks at the fallout in Downing Street.
