MP who backed Israeli football fan ban warmly shakes hand of 'no mercy' preacher

A Birmingham MP supporting the decision to bar Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from an Aston Villa match was 'congratulated' for his 'support of Palestine ' by the same British Islamic preacher who urged his followers to show 'no mercy' to Israeli fans if they visited the city. Footage has emerged of MP Ayoub Khan, a close ally of hard-Left former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, shaking hands with Muslim influencer Asrar Rashid while attending Lozells Central Mosque in Birmingham, in July.
