A senior Cabinet minister has said it was ” absolutely outrageous” that the chief constable of West Midlands Police has not resigned after he “misled” Parliament and the public.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting said it was “jaw-dropping” that Craig Guildford remained in his post after a highly critical preliminary review into how West Midlands Police’s (WMP) handled the decision to ban Israeli football team Maccabi Tel Aviv’s fans from a match against Aston Villa in November.
