Jewish community leaders in Birmingham

Standing outside Villa Park

Saying they support the ban of Maccabi

Saying it's nothing to do with religion, or against Jews

"It's a genuine safety concern against hooliganism from Maccabi"

Starmer seems to deliberately conflate the fear of antisemitism with banning violent thugs who follow an Israeli football team. If the thugs and the team were from any other country Starmer wouldn’t be involved. What makes Israel such an exception for him that he acts as their ambassador?

Jews in Birmingham stand against Maccabi hooligans, they feel very safe, they don't want them coming to make them feel scared.

What a joke, all the issues in the UK and instead of dealing with them they are having an Emergency Session to try justify letting dangerous thugs come to the UK because they are Israeli.

They have got it wrong, big time, and are going to try a rationalisation whitewash or doubling down instead of admitting it.

Just like the ridiculous proscribing of Palestinian Action.

The LP - in thrall to Netanyahu.

Lisa Nandy showing how ignorant and disingenuous she can be. Football hooligans should be divided out and excluded.

Well done to AK for supporting his constituents - the government certainly won't.

According to The Telegraph, Orr will be tasked with boosting Reform’s “acquisition of talent”.

Reform's idea of talent:
Poor knowledge of paying VAT
Ability to bully and swear in meetings
Can gaslight voters
Happy to urinate in street
Post racist dross on SM and forget to delete...

Must be more.

I wonder if LBC's Iain Dale will apologise for this smear, posted before last night's riots involving Maccabi supporters which resulted in the match being cancelled by the police for reasons of public safety?

AK has issued a statement. A few people may be sued:

'The disgraceful and libellous and irresponsible comments made by some politicians have put me and my family in danger.

Keir Starmer, you owe an apology to our chief constable. And to all the others, wait for my letter before action.'

Independent MP Ayoub Khan makes comments after Tel Aviv football derby between Hapoel and Maccabi called off after rioting Keir Starmer’s national grooming gang inquiry has suffered a blow after a prominent survivor resigned from its overseeing panel saying she disagreed with a shortlist of two possible chairs, Rajeev Syal reports. The independent MP Ayoub Khan has called for an apology from Keir Starmer for his criticism of West Midlands police at the end of last week after it proposing banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from an Aston Villa match in Birmingham next month. Starmer suggested this amounted to capitulation to antisemitism, and the government is now trying to ensure the police get the resources they need to ensure the Maccabi fans can attend.
