Outrageous Protest

Genocidal Chant

The Home Secretary labeled the slogan, which calls for the destruction of Israel, as "deeply offensive" and "clearly antisemitic."

Police Criticism

Met officers were criticized for not intervening to stop the projection as MPs debated a ceasefire in Gaza.

Call for Action

James Cleverly insists on action to ensure the safety of all, particularly the Jewish community, in the wake of the offensive incident.

No 10 Response

Downing Street called the campaign stunt "wrong" but did not insist on police intervention, leaving operational decisions to the police.

Support for Commons Speaker

Cabinet ministers threw a lifeline to Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay, blaming his handling of the Gaza debate on the need to protect MPs from extremists.

Accusations of Extremism

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman accused Britain of heading towards a "ghettoised society" and criticized Sir Keir Starmer for being influenced by extremists.
