(LBC) Rishi Sunak has warned that British streets are being hijacked by small, “hostile” groups, as he claimed that extremists are seeking to undermine democracy.
Giving an address outside Downing Street on Friday evening, Mr Sunak said Britain had seen a “shocking increase in extremist disruption and criminality” in recent weeks and months.
His comments came ahead of pro-Palestine protests which are set to continue across the country on Saturday.
Several MPs have said they have felt threatened by protesters, and Parliament descended into chaos after Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he broke with convention because of security fears.
Earlier this week the home secretary announced a £31m package to boost security measures for MPs.
