Text from the linked article Reads UK police were told more than 200 Maccabi Tel Aviv fans who caused havoc in Amsterdam last year "were linked to the Israel Defense Forces" by their Dutch counterparts, bringing claims by the UK Government into question. The recent ban on Maccabi fans attending the club's match against Aston Villa on Thursday in the Europa League was denounced as antisemitic by the UK Government, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying it was "wrong". The original police assessment, seen by Middle East Eye, records that Dutch police informed their British counterparts that "over 200" Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam last year were "linked to the Israel Defense Forces". Dutch police reported that "significant numbers of Maccabi fans were actively involved in demonstrations and confrontations". They said "500 to 600 fans" were "experienced fighters who were highly organised and co-ordinated. They were intent on serious violence and were not afraid of fighting with police."

From the linked article. A man in a Guido Fawkes mask holds up two placards marked ‘No to Digital ID’ with the text Britons will never need digital ID for NHS, says Starmer The prime minister plays down fears surrounding his plans with assurances it will never be mandatory but will ‘cut the faff’ of modern life new Chris Smyth, Whitehall Editor Thursday October 23 2025, 8.00pm BST, The Times A protester in a Guy Fawkes mask holds up signs saying "NO TO DIGITAL ID" during a protest against government plans for digital IDs. Hundreds marched through London last weekend in a demonstration against plans for digital ID GUY CORBISHLEY/ALAMY Sir Keir Starmer has pledged that digital ID will never be a requirement of access to the NHS and would only ever be mandatory for checks on the right to work. Having pitched digital ID as a means of dealing with illegal immigration, the prime minister now seeks to sell the scheme as a way to “cut the faff”, by making people’s lives easier by speeding up identity checks and saving money on administration.

Given the huge challenges this system has created for Labour, one might hope its UK leader would provide, well, leadership. Yet at no point in the entire byelection campaign did Keir Starmer visit the constituency. Labour has enjoyed more than 100 years of electoral success in Wales, and Welsh Labour has been hailed as the democratic world’s “most successful election- winning machine” At a time when Starmer risks being the first Labour leader to lose Wales, the prime minister either felt he would be an electoral liability or he wasn’t bothered to show up. Either way, this helped to seal the party’s fate.
