Downing Street said Suella Braverman’s plans for a crackdown on the use of tents by homeless people had been shelved.

Ms Braverman was sacked as home secretary on Monday following a series of controversial comments, including describing homelessness as a “lifestyle choice”.

The plans will not be included in the Criminal Justice Bill, No 10 indicated.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “It’s not going to be introduced in the Criminal Justice Bill. I’m not aware of any plans for its introduction elsewhere.”

Miriam Cates and Danny Kruger – who co-chair the right-wing New Conservatives grouping of 2017 and 2019 MPs – have attacked Rishi Sunak after he brought back David Cameron and sacked Suella Braverman.

“The Conservative Party now looks like it is deliberately walking away from the coalition of voters who brought us into power with a large majority in 2019,” the two MPs said.

“In political terms, it appears the leadership has decided to abandon the voters who switched to us last time, sacrificing the seats we won from Labour in 2019 in the hope of shoring up support elsewhere,” they added.

Ms Cates and Mr Kruger both want the UK to leave the Strasbourg court “whatever the outcome” on the Rwanda court case on Wednesday.

Senior Labour figure Rachel Reeves has urged Israel to show greater “restraint” in Gaza, as the party prepares for an awkward vote on a ceasefire in parliament.

Sir Keir Starmer continues to come under pressure from Labour MPs, councillor and activists to end his refusal to back a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In the strongest remarks yet by a frontbencher, the shadow chancellor criticised Israel for failing to show enough “restraint” in its bombardment of Gaza.

Rishi Sunak and new home secretary James Cleverly have met Scotland Yard chief Sir Mark Rowley, as the government considers how to enhance powers to restrict some protests and crackdown on sympathy with extremism.

The PM’s official spokesman said the powers available to police to deal with protests would be kept under review to see if they need to be beefed up.

“The public rightly expect that the full force of the law is used to bear down on some of the shocking scenes of criminality we saw over the weekend, whether it was EDL protesters or those seemingly supporting Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation,” the spokesman said.

The spokesman said the PM would be speaking to Sir Mark to “get a shared understanding of how to approach these protests should there be significant protests in the future

“It’s important that police have the powers they need to carry out their role and we will continue to keep that under review.”

The SNP has hit out at the “absurdity” of David Cameron being Foreign Secretary while not being an MP and also called on Labour’s MPs in Scotland to back their call for a ceasefire.

SNP foreign affairs spokesman Brendan O’Hara told the Commons: “Already we see the absurdity of having a Foreign Secretary who is unable to come to speak in this chamber to elected members at a time of grave international crisis.

“There can only be a political solution to this crisis and one has to be found before the entire region is engulfed. That’s why a ceasefire is essential.”

On the SNP amendment to the King’s Speech calling for a ceasefire, he said: “I expect members from the Labour Party in Scotland to be in the lobbies with us, because without justice there can be no peace.”

Cabinet ministers discussed the latest inflation statistics amid hopes the Prime Minister can reach his target of halving inflation.

UK wage growth has edged back from record highs but earnings are outstripping inflation at the fastest pace for two years, according to official figures.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said average regular earnings, excluding bonuses, increased by 7.7% in the three months to September, down from an upwardly revised and record high of 7.9% in the previous three months.

A Cabinet readout said: “Ahead of new inflation statistics to be released tomorrow, the Chancellor said the continued progress in reducing the rate of inflation was testament to the hard work of Government in retaining fiscal discipline, not fuelling inflation through additional borrowing.

“The Prime Minister concluded by saying it was a shared privilege to be a member of Cabinet and that he was confident that the people around the table had the energy and ambition to deliver real change to benefit the public.”

Rishi Sunak and Cabinet ministers looked ahead to Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision on the Rwanda plan.

Home Secretary James Cleverly “outlined some of the possible scenarios” of the judgment, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said.

A Cabinet readout said: “Ahead of the Supreme Court judgment on the Rwanda migration partnership tomorrow, the Prime Minister highlighted significant progress made by the Government to stop the boats.

A Cabinet readout said: “Ahead of the Supreme Court judgment on the Rwanda migration partnership tomorrow, the Prime Minister highlighted significant progress made by the Government to stop the boats.

“He said that the UK was bucking the global trend by significantly reducing the flow of illegal immigrants into the country while other countries continue to see their numbers rise.

“Alongside this, he said we are on track to eliminate the asylum legacy backlog and were making good progress on curbing the use of hotels to house migrants.

“The Home Secretary updated Cabinet ahead of the court judgments and on the wider work to curb illegal migration, including through more returns agreements, most recently with Georgia and Albania.”

As Rishi Sunak met Scotland Yard chief Sir Mark Rowley, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said the powers available to police to deal with protests would be kept under review to see if they need to be beefed up.

“The public rightly expect that the full force of the law is used to bear down on some of the shocking scenes of criminality we saw over the weekend, whether it was EDL protesters or those seemingly supporting Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation,” the spokesman said.

He added: “The Prime Minister continues to be grateful to police officers, a number of whom were injured over the weekend.

“They have an extremely difficult job to do and he was grateful to them for doing it.”

The spokesman said the Prime Minister would be speaking to Sir Mark to “get a shared understanding of how to approach these protests should there be significant protests in the future”.

“It’s important that police have the powers they need to carry out their role and we will continue to keep that under review.”

Rishi Sunak is meeting Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley in Downing Street, following last Saturday’s unrest around the Cenotaph and the pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London.

Downing Street said the pair were meeting to discuss the protests last weekend.

It comes after Suella Braverman was sacked as Home Secretary after she branded pro-Palestinian protesters “hate marchers” and accused the police of bias for letting the rally go ahead on Armistice Day.
