well before the game, and then you look at the abuse directed at saka, and marcus rashford and jadon sanchoot happy with certain things. that symbol is taking the knee, which was taken by martin luther king in 1965, walked to montgomery, police blocked them off, martin luther king went down on his knee, that symbol has been there for years. his knee, that symbol has been there foryears. it his knee, that symbol has been there for years. it is not political, we see black lives matter, it is not that all lies don't matter, it is just that there are issues that we have to sort out. we are not disowning anybody else stop at this moment we are concentrating on this. when resort that is, we can sort this out as well. do you understand what i am saying? those players taking that stance and elevating the cause, which never used to happen before. for me, i used to stand on my own on the terraces, now i am thinking, they have my back. my friends are thinking, i want to start supporting that team. it means so much because we want to be like _ it means so much because we want to be like everybody else,

the three black england players jadon sancho, marcus rashford and bukayo saka faced online abuse afterng penalties at sunday night's final. the chief secretary to the treasury, stephen barclay, defended priti patel saying the home secretary fully understood the issues of racism after being subject to online abuse herself. from working with the home secretary that she is taking action in her role as home secretary to go after many of these racist groups. she is taking action against the extreme right—wing groups that ferment many of these things and she is acting as home secretary to tackle this, as indeed is the culture secretary. and as i say, through the online harms bill, we are committed as a government to legislating to tackle these social media platforms who frankly, should be doing far more to clamp down on this sort of unacceptable racism and abuse online. it's part of a wider problem in terms of online abuse. and we will legislate to punish those companies financially if they fail to act and i call on them this morning to take more action to stop their platforms being abused i

and sadly, overnight, marcus rashford, jadon sancho and bukayo saka have been subject to the most appalling another labour mp said some of the abuse was still visible online the day after the game. i've spoken to instagram this afternoon to urge them to take much stronger action. can i ask has the home secretary done so, and will she do so, and now speak to the social media companies to urge them to take this action, and will she also take the opportunity to condemn those who stood up in our stadiums and booed our brave players for taking a stand against racism, and call on them to show solidarity instead? the right honourable lady's right to point to instagram but all social media platforms — it's notjust instagram. they are all culpable and they are all responsible and it is right that we all take action against them and we in the home office are absolutely, as i already said, on top of these organisations. booing — there is no place for booing. individuals themselves have the right to express themselves. we live in a free country — and thank god we do — express themselves in whichever wa

he and two of his other team—mates, jadon sancho and bukayo saka, all received racist abuse on socialt, marcus rashford has opened up about the events over the last few days. "i can take critique of my performance all day long but i will never apologise for who i am and where i came from." meanwhile, england defender tyrone mings has accused the home secretary of stoking the fire, accusing her of pretending to be disgusted about racism after she condemned the online abuse faced by footballers, because she had previously called taking the knee "gesture politics". no one wants to see racism, let's assume that is the case with everybody including, by the way, our home secretary who has been subject in her life to racism herself. nobody wants to see it and i think we all get behind each other to defeat it, not only in sport, but in society more broadly. inspired by england's overall performance at the euros, these young footballers in luton are hoping to follow in the footsteps of their role models, but they say the last 48 hours have been hard to bear. ijust knew when he missed, i knew h

in particular, the penalty—takers marcus rashford, jadon sancho and bukayo saka have been singled out, bukayo saka, aged 19, i2 bukayo saka, aged 19, 12 yards out, millions watching. if there was a feeling of inevitability about england losing another penalty shoot—out, the same could be said for what followed. for shoot-out, the same could be said for what followed.— shoot-out, the same could be said for what followed. for some of them to be abused — for what followed. for some of them to be abused is _ for what followed. for some of them to be abused is unforgivable, - to be abused is unforgivable, really. we have got to make sure that we are there and aligned with our clubs and making sure that we

the minister says, we are all disgusted and condemn the appalling racist abuse of bukayo saka, jadon sanchoe are also furious, and they are demanding action now from the government. so how is the government is going to force social media companies to act now? promises have been made before, and yet, we are still waiting. the government's said its upcoming online harms bill would tackle the issue, with big sanctions facing social media companies that didn't comply. there are fines of up- to 10% of global turnover, blocking of sites, and indeed, potentially criminal sanctionsl for the leadership. of those businesses. other peers called for more measures against abusive fans. as chairman of the fa, i sought legislation which would enable us to ban for life, one strike and they're out, to ban for life anybody convicted of any of these crimes from every football ground in the united kingdom — no excuses, no second chances. would the government support that? the government is well aware that football banning orders l can have a great effect on those implicated, . and it's one of the things that w
