‘He should be gone by tonight!’ Wes Streeting urges West Midlands police chief to stand down after Israeli fan ban fury
Home Secretary Wes Streeting pushes West Midlands Police chief to resign after fan ban controversy.
On 15 January 2026, Home Secretary Wes Streeting publicly urged West Midlands Police chief Craig Guildford to resign amid controversy over the ban imposed on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. The ban, imposed after a clash at a local sports event in the West Midlands, led to mounting criticism of Guildford’s handling of the situation. Streeting’s statement came shortly after the Home Office declared that Guildford no longer commanded the confidence of senior officials. The pressure has intensified calls from local councillors and community groups for Guildford to step down. If Guildford remains in post, he could face a formal inquiry into policing standards and accountability. The incident has sparked debate across the UK over police impartiality and minority fan treatment.
