The Prime Minister has faced growing calls to sack Mrs Braverman for stoking tensions ahead of Armistice Day on Saturday in an unauthorised newspaper article.<\/p>\n

The Home Secretary attempted to ease tensions and save her job through a statement on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Mrs Braverman condemned anti-Semitic chants and placards at Saturday\u2019s pro-Palestinian march and called for \u201cfurther action\u201d.<\/p>\n

The under-fire Home Secretary said: \u201cThe sick, inflammatory and, in some cases, clearly criminal chants, placards and paraphernalia openly on display at the march mark a new low. Antisemitism and other forms of racism together with the valorising of terrorism on such a scale is deeply troubling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can\u2019t go on. Week by week, the streets of London are being polluted by hate, violence, and antisemitism.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the public are being mobbed and intimidated. Jewish people in particular feel threatened. Further action is necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don’t miss… <\/strong> Sunak poised to sack Braverman \u2013 here is what happens next in Tory civil war<\/strong><\/p>\n

In her first public comments since violent scenes in London on Saturday, the Home Secretary said on X: \u201cOur brave police officers deserve the thanks of every decent citizen for their professionalism in the face of violence and aggression from protesters and counter-protesters in London on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat multiple officers were injured doing their duty is an outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Home Secretary, 43, has been accused of inflaming tensions after she branded pro-Palestinian protesters \u201chate marchers\u201d and accused the police of bias for letting the rally go ahead on remembrance weekend.<\/p>\n

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps failed to back Mrs Braverman\u2019s survival as Home Secretary for another seven days during an interview on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cA week\u2019s a long time in politics\u201d when asked whether his Cabinet colleague will stay in her role next weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A government source said: “We are not 100 percent sure but it is looking like a reshuffle [on Monday].”<\/p>\n

Another source said that a grid showing Downing Street\u2019s plans for the day appeared to have been cleared which “allows for the Prime Minister to hold a reshuffle”.<\/p>\n

An ally of Mrs Braverman added: “A reshuffle [on Monday] is probably bad news for [Suella]. If he [Sunak] is going to sack her he will do it quickly.”<\/p>\n

Mr Shapps did not rise to suggestions that she had stirred up the debate around protests over the remembrance weekend and said it was \u201cperfectly proper\u201d for her to engage in the debate.<\/p>\n

Pressed about whether Mrs Braverman stirred up the debate, the Defence Secretary told the BBC\u2019s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: \u201cWhen you say stirred up \u2013 discussed by yes \u2013 it is absolutely right to talk about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in a democratic society. It is perfectly proper to discuss whether this was an appropriate weekend to go out and do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
