Downing Street defers to FIFA on Argentina banner as opposition leaders demand stronger action
The Prime Minister's spokeswoman said any disciplinary response to Argentina players' Falklands banner was "a matter for Fifa," while Business Secretary Peter Kyle said FIFA should investigate. Opposition leaders went further: Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said players "must be barred from the final," Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch declared the Falklands "British," and Reform UK's Nigel Farage called for Royal Navy build-up.
