A senior cabinet minister has said he will be “horrified” if the chief constable of West Midlands Police is still in post by the end of the day, adding his failure to resign was “a stain on his character”.
Health secretary Wes Streeting said he was “absolutely shocked” 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.
