Suella Braverman, who was fired from her post as Britain’s home secretary on Monday, had long been a divisive figure at the heart of the governing Conservative Party whose provocative rhetoric won her support on the hard right while alienating more moderate colleagues.
The police said that around 145 people were arrested on Saturday, most of whom were counterprotesters, and that nine officers had been injured.
In the piece, Ms. Braverman accused the police of a “double standard” in the way they handled protests.
Ms. Braverman had made it clear that she wanted the march on Saturday to be banned in part because it coincided with Armistice Day.
The article by Ms. Braverman, published a few hours later, appeared to undermine his stance.
