The Met Police was facing questions over its impartiality last night after a picture emerged of officers posing with a masked child holding a Palestine flag.
The force admitted it was 'not advisable' for the two officers to have agreed to be pictured with the child at the pro-Palestinian march yesterday, which was marred by displays of antisemitism.
While police were branded a 'disgrace' after a video posted on X showed officers in riot gear standing and watching as punches were thrown in an ugly brawl in Trafalgar Square. Scotland Yard said it is 'making enquiries' and it was 'clear the reaction of officers was not what we would hope to see'.
