England fans’ chants cast Keir Starmer as first prime minister to become The Enemy | Barney Ronay

The article discusses how Keir Starmer, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has become the target of chants and songs by England football fans. Prior to Starmer's tenure, British prime ministers were largely invisible on the terraces, but now he has single-handedly managed to stop England fans from singing songs about the IRA and "Ten German Bombers." However, the fans have now turned their attention to chanting that Starmer is a "wanker" and that he should "fuck off." The article suggests that this is a "partial success" for Starmer, as he has managed to curb some of the more controversial chants, but has now become the focus of the fans' ire. The article also notes that football is often used as a way to convey broader societal and political messages.
