Minister on pro-Palestine march on Remembrance weekend<\/h3>\n

Gary Lineker hit back at Suella Braverman after she warned against a “hate march” on Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

The Home Secretary took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to condemn the pro-Palestine protests demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict planned in central London on November 11<\/p>\n

She said: “It is entirely unacceptable to desecrate Armistice Day with a hate march through London.<\/p>\n

“If it goes ahead there is an obvious risk of serious public disorder, violence and damage as well as giving offence to millions of decent British people.<\/p>\n

“I have full confidence in the Metropolitan Police to ensure public safety and take all factors into account as they have done in similar situations in the past.”<\/p>\n

But Match of the Day presenter Lineker, who is the BBC’s highest-paid star, took issue with Mrs Braverman branding it a “hate march”.<\/p>\n

The football pundit said: “Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don\u2019t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.”<\/p>\n

Lineker, who is known for wading into politics, sparked a BBC impartiality row in March after he took to social media to slam the Government’s illegal immigration crackdown and compare language used to that of Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n

He was responding to a video posted by the Home Office of Mrs Braverman discussing the Illegal Migration Bill.<\/p>\n

New social media rules in the wake of the storm allow high-profile presenters outside of news and current affairs to express personal views on issues but they must stop short of political campaigning.<\/p>\n

Lineker’s latest post was shared by the Left-wing activist Owen Jones, who earlier in the day warned that demonstrators would turn out in “even greater numbers” if the rally planned for November 11 is banned.<\/p>\n
