How should the police be responding to the government’s call to arrest more people on "hate marches" (sic Suella).
Do laws need to change? Do specific chants cross the legal line? And what is the terror threat like over all in the UK right now?
We have an extended interview with Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley on protest, policing and public trust.
In response to Sir Mark's comments about the Attorney General's Office, an AGO spokesperson said: "There has been no delay in the charging process for the two women who were arrested on suspicion of displaying images in support of Hamas.
"CPS received a complete version of the police report in the early hours of this morning – this was passed on to AGO at midday today for permission to consent to prosecute and this is being dealt with this evening as a matter of urgency."
