Rishi Sunak wants to bolster protest laws and give police more power to ban marches after the Armistice Day chaos.

Pro-Palestine rallies yesterday were marred by anti-Semitic placards that mirrored those used in Nazi propaganda during the 1930s, while video emerged on social media of an ugly brawl breaking out in Trafalgar Square while police in riot gear stood by and watched.

The Met Police has drawn up a list of activists and counter protesters it is hunting for including a woman who was filmed yelling 'death to all Jews', two men pictured wearing Hamas headbands, a group of four who called pro Palestine protesters 'tourist c***s' and a woman carrying a Nazi swastika sign.
