KEIR PLAYS 4-4-HUGH

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer takes on comedian Hugh Denis in eight-a-side footie match

JUDGING by his invisible leadership, I don’t reckon Sir Keir Starmer rallies his footie team-mates like Roy Keane used to.

It wasn’t Boris Johnson the Labour leader was battling on Sunday, but TV star Hugh Dennis.

An eagle-eyed sports fan spotted them in an eight-a-side match in Camden, North London just weeks after Keir said he was in training again for team sports.

He joked: “Still got a few months before Gareth Southgate announces the squad for the Euros . . . ”

It’s been years since England had a decent left winger.

I think the wait will continue . . .
