Read our privacy policy Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper has said “a spiral of disrespect” cannot be allowed to develop between the Government and the police, following intense political pressure over protest marches. Speaking at a policing conference in Westminster, Ms Cooper called the attacks by former home secretary Suella Braverman on the Metropolitan Police last week “a disgrace”. “Because I said repeatedly in the comments that I made on the disgraceful Suella Braverman article, no home secretary ever before would ever have done this. “And we cannot let this spiral into a spiral of disrespect between policing and between the Home Office ministers.” She accused Prime Minster Rishi Sunak of being irresponsible in also putting pressure on the Met over the protests.
