West Midlands Police chief retires amid Maccabi Tel Aviv controversy

PM

Available for 26 days

Craig Guildford has retired after months of criticism over a decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a match against Aston Villa on 6 November. The former Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police tells PM that confidence in police intelligence has been damaged. Also, as ‘broken Britain’ becomes a political narrative, how do voters feel about it? And the extraordinary wartime story of Brian Stonehouse - a British spy who was held in four concentration camps - as the drawings he did at Dachau come up for sale.
