Priti Patel said football’s coming home and the takedowns went into extra time – 9 winners
As excitement builds ahead of England’s Euros semi-final clash with Denmark on Wednesday, there are so many politicians on the bandwagon there’s hardly room for anyone else.
Somewhere close to the front was Home Secretary Priti Patel, who had this to say after England’s 4-0 rout of Ukraine at the weekend.
And if you’re thinking people might have something to say about that, you’d be absolutely right.

'Priti Patel has said she does not support England football players taking the knee in protest of racism and that fans have the right to boo them at matches.'
Pick a side, Priti. https://t.co/U2YnO53qe9

Luckily you weren’t in charge of the Home Office when the majority of these young men’s parents and grandparents arrived.

If football did come home, she would only want to send it back where it came from https://t.co/OEp44v9uY2

Oh pipe down. You can't say it's ok too boo the England players one week and then act like their biggest fan the next. https://t.co/cJdymuFDPZ

The team you say indulges in gesture politics and can be booed.
The saddest thing about this is the number people who will be duped by your faux pride and support. https://t.co/2chsocnegi— Brian Moore (@brianmoore666) July 4, 2021
