Well, that is a surprise....
It turns out Starmer, Nandy, Dinenage, Badenoch, Davey, Ronay, et al were indeed chatting rubbish after all
I assume a full and fulsome apology will be forthcoming to SAG, WMP, the people of Aston & Witton, Aston Villa Football Club & #avfc fans across the globe

Great article from @jonathanliew.bsky.social
A lone voice of sense & balance after Barney Ronay's kneejerk nonsense
Yet I'm still itching to know who or what these ephemeral beings are who pose such a threat to visiting fans on the streets of Witton

Standing with Maccabi’s football hooligans against local police – is that what patriotism looks like now? | Jonathan Liew
Tommy Robinson is said to be going to Villa Park as a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan. Do the politicians jumping on this bandwagon care what they are doing, asks Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

This is insane
Nandy, Starmer and Dinenage have created a narrative that it is the people of Birmingham and #AVFC fans specifically that are the threat.
Maccabi understandly are gobbling this up gladly, a great PR win for them.
Another shameful day in modern politics whoever you support

Nandy's statement to the Commons is deeply odd
Championing the independence of the decision makers whilst directly citing anti-semitism as "context" & ignoring last night's incidents in Tel Aviv
Whether the initial decision was right or wrong is irrelevant now
Truly bizarre behaviour from No. 10
