This happened to @MatthewStadlen and I after we left @Edgbaston. The man’s casual racism and use of the P word - which he whispered while leaning into Matt to describe people “like me” was disgusting. Matt dealt with him and we walked away to enjoy rest of our evening. #ENGvIND
So Boris Johnson was made aware of a formal complaint about Chris Pincher's "inappropriate behaviour" before he appointed him deputy chief whip, a job which involves ensuring Tory party discipline? Even Johnson’s most cultish followers must surely be at breaking point?

Incredibly sorry to hear this. I was with my friend who wears a hijab and an England ‘fan’ whispered the P word to me when we asked him and his mates for directions outside the ground. I put him straight but it was a shocking moment at the end of a glorious day.
We are very concerned to hear reports of racist abuse at today's Test match. We are in contact with colleagues at Edgbaston who will investigate. There is no place for racism in cricket
So much for battling racism in cricket!! @Edgbaston was horrific today. So many complaints made to stewards however said person was not removed. So disappointed in what we had to face most of the day. @ICC@ECB_cricket@BCCI
Brilliant atmosphere at Edgbaston. England and India fans in a tug of war to see who can sing and shout the loudest while Joe Root goes about his business🏴🇮🇳
