Ed Miliband says parts of Birmingham 'can't be a no-go area for Jews'

Parts of Birmingham can't be a 'no-go area' for Jewish people, Cabinet minister Ed Miliband said today - as Labour ministers scramble to lift a ban on Israeli football fans. The Energy Secretary said Britain 'cannot have a situation where any area is a no-go area for people of a particular religion or from a particular country'. It comes as the Government continues to pressure police to reverse a decision to bar Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from their match against Aston Villa on 6 November.
