The London mayor tells Sky News' Politics Hub that the home secretary 'should be bringing people together' rather than calling demonstrations 'hate marches' as tensions rise in the capital over the Israel-Hamas war.
Sadiq Khan has criticised Suella Braverman for describing pro-Palestinian protests as 'hate marches', saying her 'posturing' could divide communities. Speaking to Beth Rigby for Sky News' Politics Hub programme, the Mayor of London said that 'by and large', demonstrations in the capital have seen people acting in a 'peaceful, lawful and safe way'.
'By and large, over the last three weeks, the hundreds of thousands of people who've been protesting have been doing it in a peaceful, lawful and safe way. 'I accept a small minority may have acted outside the law. That may be a grey area. And what the home secretary should be doing is listening to her commissioner, who has said quite clearly the government should be stepping in and providing clarity in relation to laws around extremism.
