Sir Keir Starmer is slammed for bagging two free tickets to Sunday's Euros final even though Labour fears the packed stadium won't be safe for fans

Sir Keir Starmer was under fire last night for bagging two free tickets to tonight's Euros final even though Labour has raised concerns about whether it was safe for fans.

The Labour leader was accused by the Tories of 'double standards' for agreeing to be a guest of the Premier League at Wembley tonight – alongside an expected crowd of 60,000.

But only last week, Shadow Sports Minister Alison McGovern voiced concerns about that many fans packing into stadiums and called on Ministers to publish data to show it was safe.

Last night, Tory MP Richard Holden said Sir Keir should return the tickets if that was really Labour's view.
