Keir Starmer torn apart by GMB's Kate Garraway as she rages 'he has failed!'

Kate Garraway ripped into Keir Starmer after it was announced that Israeli football fans had been banned from a Europa League match in Birmingham next month. The Good Morning Britain presenter claimed that the Labour leader has failed to uphold his promise to ensure the safety of Jewish people if such extreme measures are being implemented. Speaking to Digital Government and Data Minister, Ian Murray, Kate asked: "How does it make you feel that the police feel they have to do this and that the Prime Minister seemingly isn't able to keep his promise for Jewish people to be safe and feel safe on the street or football stands?"

The politician responded: "I think that's the whole point of why the prime minister is so angry about the decision that's been made. It sends the wrong message to both Aston Villa and Birmingham and the fans but also the wider society that we will ban people from public events in this country based on their nationality, race or religion. That's the wrong thing."

Kate said police have a job to keep people safe, arguing: "If they feel it's not possible and they've made this move then surely it's not their fault? It's the climate and the power the government needs to take to make it happen."

When Murray claimed no one is to blame, Kate interjected: "I think you're misunderstanding the question. The prime minister said he wants Jewish people, after the events of a fortnight ago, to feel safe and be safe. If the police have to do this then the prime minister has failed in that promise."

Sir Keir Starmer criticised the move to ban supporters of Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending their team's match against Aston Villa, branding it "the wrong decision".

He called for Birmingham City Council's Safety Advisory Group and West Midlands Police to reverse their decision and permit Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters to attend the match.

Sir Keir said: "This is the wrong decision. We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets. The role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation."

It comes after two members of the Jewish community were killed at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66 died after 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie launched a car and knife attack while wearing what appeared to be a vest with an explosive device, which was later found to be fake. He was shot dead by police.
