John Plunkett. Updated July 7th, 2021

As you might just be aware, England play Denmark in the Euros semi-finals on Wednesday with the chance of reaching their first major tournament final since 1966.

Boris Johnson is no stranger to strapping himself to the England bandwagon – remember when he stood on that giant England flag before England’s win against Ukraine?

Well now he’s taken time out from his busy schedule to pose with an England shirt outside 10 Downing Street.

Today is the day.

And we’ve read all the replies – well, quite a lot of them – so you don’t have to and these are our 13 favourites …

Just to remind everyone: Boris Johnson refused to condemn people booing England players until polling show that it was unpopular.

He’s not even a glory-supporter. He’s a focus-group fan. https://t.co/AjemeuU4Cd

It's not really about him tonight, or did I miss something? https://t.co/aQpgYspO99

You can tell he doesn’t watch football because he’s put his first name on the back of his shirt https://t.co/wn1L8CQYNK

Have you done another picture with a Denmark shirt just to be on the safe side?

The irony of him holding up Sterling’s number 10 though… https://t.co/SDh8wyWW5k

You have peddled racism your whole life. You attacked our team for taking the knee.

You have absolutely no right to lay claim to the shirt number of our talisman, Raheem Sterling – someone who has overcome racism and leads by example every day

You’re a fraud
