MPs unite to demand resignation of DISGRACED Police Chief over DECEITFUL Tel Aviv football ban

Labour and Tory MPs were united in their calls for a resignation from West Midlands Police Chief Craig Guildford Thursday as the disgraced Police Chief has remained in his position after it was revealed he had provided erroneous evidence to have Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans banned from a match involving the club in November.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy of the Labour Party both expressed their astonishment that Guildford has not resigned.

Shadow Scottish Secretary Andrew Bowie shared this sentiment, saying Guildford "must resign".

Guildford has apologised, saying an AI error resulted in invalid evidence being used to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from supporting their team.

This situation has only continued to heighten tensions over the Israel-Palestine conflict in the UK with Jewish community members expressing their frustration since the news of the error broke last week.
