Defiant Gary Neville hits back at critics after his World Cup rant: ITV pundit accuses Tories of 'putting lives at risk' as Labour cheerleaders rush to defend him after he likened UK strikers to Qatar migrant workers in latest political stunt

A defiant Gary Neville today refused to apologise for his ITV 'party political broadcast' comparing working conditions in the UK to Qatar where up to 6,500 migrant workers died preparing for the World Cup.

The former Manchester United defender turned pundit, a member of Labour, has been accused of rank hypocrisy after signing a deal with the Qatari state broadcaster BeIN SPORTS despite the country's appalling human rights record.

And there was more anger when he ranted as millions of British football fans watched the World Cup final last night, with ITV criticised for failing to intervene and now urged to never employ him again.
