Boris Johnson has defended the Home Secretary after she was criticised for her comments following the racial abuse players faced after the Euro2020 final. England defender Tyrone Mings accused Priti Patel of “pretending” to be disgusted after three players were subject to racial abuse. But the Prime Minister showed his support for Witham MP Ms Patel in responding to comments from Opposition Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer saying: “I want to reiterate my support, our support, our total support for our fantastic team and I support them in the way that they show solidarity with their friends who face racism.
