The Home Office has been accused of trying to rush through Suella Braverman’s sweeping reforms of armed policing without properly consulting victims.
A review was ordered by the disgraced former home secretary in September after dozens of Metropolitan Police officers downed their weapons to protest their colleague being charged with the murder of Chris Kaba.
Within hours of their protest, Braverman took to X to announce the review and give her full backing to officers, saying they “mustn't fear ending up in the dock for carrying out their duties”.
