Robert Jenrick has backed the Home Secretary’s decision to cancel a pro-Iran “hate march” in London to prevent “serious public disorder”.

The Reform MP also condemned mourning of the Ayatollah on the streets of Britain after the Supreme Leader was killed in the initial wave of US-Israeli strikes on Tehran.

Late last night, Shabana Mahmood formally announced the ban on the Al-Quds Day march with a protest clampdown in force from March 11 to April 11.

Saying she and the Metropolitan Police made the “right call”, Mr Jenrick said: “We can’t have people out on the streets of London or any of our cities celebrating Islamist extremists, lauding the Ayatollah.

“This was a man, remember, who funded and supplied terrorist organisations in Iraq and Afghanistan, groups like the Taliban, who were killing our troops.

“Brave British men died at the behest of IEDs that were being supplied by Iran at the orders of that man.

“So I would find it sickening to see people out on our streets celebrating him, mourning his death, as we have already.”
