The decision to ban Maccabi fans was based on "intelligence and professional judgement," according to the police.
But Starmer chose to milk the situation, calling it "anti-semitic." He's a liar. He and his right-wing backers used the same smears to get rid of Corbyn.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
