West Midlands Police chief Craig Guildford admitted he passed false information to Parliament that helped justify barring Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from a Europa League match against Aston Villa.

* He later confirmed the intelligence was generated by Microsoft Copilot, not a Google search as originally claimed, and it even cited a Maccabi Tel Aviv vs. West Ham match that never took place.

* Guildford apologized and expressed “deep regret,” and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the ban was “the wrong decision.”
