Police are investigating a fake social media video falsely portraying London Mayor Sadiq Khan prioritizing pro-Palestinian marches over Armistice Day events. The clip, circulated by far-right groups ahead of Saturday's controversial march, could inflame tensions. Concerns are high about potential violent clashes between marchers and far-right counter-protesters wanting to protect war memorials on Armistice Day. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called the pro-Palestinian march "provocative." Khan's spokesperson says the video is fabricated and police counter-terror experts are probing it. The march has already ignited a political row, with Interior Minister Suella Braverman attacking police's handling of it. The fake Khan video aims to further stoke divisions before the charged demonstrations.
