Home Secretary Urges Chief Constable Resignation

On Jan. 14, 2026, U.K. home secretary Shabana Mahmood urged West Midlands Chief Constable Craig Guildford to resign after an independent report by chief inspector Andy Cooke found "a failure of leadership" over the Nov. 6, 2025 ban of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from Aston Villa's Europa League match. The report cited overstated threats, poor community engagement and an AI-generated erroneous West Ham match, prompting calls to restore sacking powers.
