Rishi Sunak Instagram – No country is perfect, but I am enormously proud of the good that our country has done. Our place in history is defined by the sacrifices our people have made in the service of our own freedom and that of others. Britain today is a patriotic, liberal democratic society with a proud past and a bright future. We are a reasonable country and a decent people. But on too many occasions recently, our streets have been hijacked by those who are hostile to our values and have no respect for our democratic traditions. This week I have met with senior police officers and made clear it is the public’s expectation that they will not merely manage these protests, but police them. And we will back the police when they take action. 10 Downing Street
