Ipswich MP Tom Hunt has urged the England football team to stop taking the knee before matches in Euro 2020 and to adopt other ways of showing their opposition to discrimination in a bid to boost national unity during the competition.
At the start of this week s friendly match with Austria in Middlesbrough, there were clear boos heard when the England team took the knee before the kick-off - although many fans also applauded the gesture.
This was the first England match played in front of a live crowd since the start of the pandemic 15 months ago - 8,200 fans were allowed into the Riverside Stadium for the game.
