Having asked the pro Hamas marchers to stand down and not hold their march during Remembrance weekend, Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley performed a public volte farce and has said intelligence sources did not justify a ban.
When asked about the protests, Sunak put Rowley in the firing line and said:
"This is a decision that the Metropolitan Police Commissioner has made and he has said that he can ensure that he safeguards remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the public safe.
Now, my job is to hold them accountable for that.
We've asked the police for information on how they will ensure that this happens and I'll be meeting the Metropolitan Police Commissioner later today to discuss these marches."
If the march goes ahead, the main flash points will be at the tube and train stations as pro Hamas supporters try to occupy the stations being used by those who are coming to London to attend Remembrance events.
Rowley will end up banning the march or end up with scenes of disorder over the weekend, either way he is now toast.
