Sadiq Khan grilled on police funding by Susan Hall<\/h3>\n

Sir Mark Rowley, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, has warned that his force will not be able to properly police large parts of London because of the anti-Israel protests.<\/p>\n

With plans for a million-person march for Palestine on Remembrance Day, Sir Mark conceded that it was now going to become a regular issue.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI am deeply concerned about the effect that has on day-to-day local policing and the balance of that across London.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly we cannot let these protests get out of hand but it is creating significant stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the Met would need to request help from other forces especially as Just Stop Oil have begun a series of protests again as well.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe stretch is now beyond the individual cases. Doing these as one-offs or two-offs is one matter but this looks like it is going to be a rolling sustained pattern. More protests this weekend and next weekend etc and we are starting to look at what help we can get from other forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

The issue of protests getting out of control was raised when the Government pushed through legislation earlier this year to enable the authorities to tackle them more easily.<\/p>\n

The police chief joined London\u2019s Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan at a tense session with the Greater London Assembly (GLA) to discuss policing issues and the impact of the mass protests over the Israel-Gaza crisis.<\/p>\n

The session saw Sir Mark and Mr Khan demand more public cash for policing but resulted in a clash between the Labour Mayor and his Tory opponent next year Susan Hall over how he had been responsible for problems in policing for seven years.<\/p>\n

Sir Mark told the GLA that the first protest in support of Gaza had seen 1,000 police officers and specialists needed.<\/p>\n

He claimed this increased to 1,500 the next weekend and 2,000 the following one.<\/p>\n
