Suella Braverman speaks at Express\u2019 Tory conference party<\/h3>\n

Suella Braverman\u2019s latest intervention ahead of Saturday\u2019s feared Palestine protest showdown in London has once again sparked a row within the Conservative Party and showed up divisions.<\/p>\n

In an op-ed to the Times, the Home Secretary accused the police of \u2018playing favourites\u2019 when it comes to protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a perception that senior police officers play favourites when it comes to protesters…Right-wing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored, even when clearly breaking the law?\u201d<\/p>\n

This morning Transport Secretary Mark Harper slapped down Ms Braverman\u2019s accusation, describing the police as neutral arbiters of the law.<\/p>\n

He told Times Radio: \u201cI think all police forces are focused on upholding the law without fear or favour. That’s what they do and they’re focused on doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last night No. 10 notably refused to confirm whether or not they had signed off on Ms Braverman\u2019s Times column, saying they don\u2019t comment on internal processes.<\/p>\n

Tory MPs have spent the last 24 hours rowing amongst themselves about the Home Secretary\u2019s interventions, with the latest attack on the police coming very shortly after her claims that homeless people living in tents were making a \u201clifestyle choice\u201d.<\/p>\n

Her claim that the rallies on the streets of London are more akin to \u201cwhat we see in Northern Ireland\u201d has also sparked anger, with a \u201csenior Tory source\u201d telling the BBC: \u201cThis is wholly offensive and ignorant of where people in Northern Ireland stand on the issues of… Israel and Gaza\u201d.<\/p>\n

Conservative MP Dan Poulter is reported to have told one Tory WhatsApp group: \u201cThis is a very different party to the one I was elected to in 2010\u201d.<\/p>\n

Frontbencher Paul Holmes, a PPS, added: \u201cMore and more lately, I have utter despair at coming into work and this party\u201d.<\/p>\n
