Boris Johnson has claimed he never condoned England fans booing players taking the knee against racism, rejecting accusations of ‘stoking division’.
Yesterday, at PMQs, Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, accused the PM of trying to ‘stoke a culture war’ by refusing to condemn fans who booed the England team for taking the knee but now found himself on the wrong side. He suggested the prime minister had treated racism as ‘a game’.
