Today, Adam is joined by Henry Zeffman and home affairs commentator Danny Shaw to discuss the findings of a report that stopped Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a Europa league match last November. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says the report shows there was a "failure of leadership" at the top of West Midlands Police. We also discuss why has Keir Starmer decided to change his plans to implement a mandatory digital ID and how Labour MPs are reacting to mounting government u-turns.
