The BBC’s departure from a commitment to political balance, continually leaning to the right, is a growing concern. Last night’s Question Time. Tonight’s panel on Newsnight. Kuennsberg and Mason. Progressive voices treated as idiosyncratic oddities. We all pay the licence fee.

Britons tend to think it was the right decision to ban fans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a match against Aston Villa next month, a fixture classified by West Midlands Police of being 'high risk' Right decision: 42% Wrong decision: 28%

@RobbieRinder @GMB Why do you keep conflating Jewish people with far right ultra football thugs? You know perfectly well this is about a particular set of fans who have run riot across Europe this season. Plenty of clubs have banned travelling fans because of violence. You said nothing then. 🤷🏼♀️

@RobbieRinder @GMB The fact that Jewish people attend Tottenham and Arsenal every week in their thousands, and are welcome, but foreign fans who gleefully chant about rape and murdering kids are not, suggests to me we are able to separate good people from bad. Like any other ethnicity or religion

@RobbieRinder @GMB Just on that safety - this is the haul of weapons Maccabi ‘fans’ were happy to use on their fellow Jewish Israelis at rivals Haifa in January. https://t.co/VrPcktG5KG

@RobbieRinder @GMB The idea of conflating every law-abiding Jewish person in Britain with football hooligans from Israel - who have a history of inciting violence & racist chanting at previous away games - is very insulting.

@RobbieRinder @GMB Just for clarity its Maccabi Tel Aviv fans that are being banned. Not Jews, not Israelis. Legia Warsaw, Celtic, Rangers, Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt have all recently had similar bans, how is this different?

@RobbieRinder @GMB Can we be very clear here. Maccabi Tel Aviv fans have been banned not because they might face abuse or antisemitism but because they are known to be violent racist hooligans who may attack British citizens.

@RobbieRinder @GMB Amsterdam in 2024. The Maccabi fans caused most of the trouble that day. They were certainly responsible for it kicking off. It was shameful and very unnerving. This is not an antisemitic statement, as Mr R might conclude. It's simply a fact. I say this as a Jew and proud to be

This footage was misreported by multiple media outlets, including Sky, as "local thugs attacking Jews", even though the freelance journalist who recorded it explicitly said it showed Maccabi thugs attacking locals. She eventually took legal action to force media outlets to stop
Skys sports correspondent @RobHarris telling us locals were convicted of attacking Maccabi fans in Amsterdam & that evidence emerged of a premediated plan to attack the Israeli fans... ...while Sky plays footage of gangs of Maccabi fans attacking locals. Its incredible really

We still remember when Labour in opposition (quite rightly) criticised Suella Braverman for political interference in the operational decision-making of the Metropolitan Police. It seems Morgan McSweeny and Keir Starmer’s memories aren’t quite as long as ours…
