Sir Mark Rowley appears to be at odds with Downing Street, who earlier said it had 'no plans' to alter legislation after pro-Palestinian protests on London's streets.

The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police says laws for tackling extremism may need to be redrawn in light of pro-Palestinian protests around the Israel-Hamas war. Sir Mark Rowley said it was for politicians to decide on 'the line of the law' and for the police to enforce it. However, he said recent events were 'illustrating that maybe some of the lines aren't quite in the right place'.

The force posted on social media that specialist counterterrorism officers had not identified any offences arising from the clip. Speaking ahead of the meeting, a source close to Ms Braverman said 'there can be no place for incitement to hatred or violence' on UK streets and police should 'crackdown on anyone breaking the law'.
