'Two tier Keir' - Arsenal fans hold up brilliant banner denouncing Keir Starmer amid hospitality furore
Arsenal fans have let Keir Starmer know exactly what they think of him with a brilliant banner at the Emirates.
The Gunners blew Bolton away in the Carabao Cup in a 5-1 victory on Wednesday night - with goalkeeper Jack Porter breaking an incredible record in the process.
But the Emirates has become something of a political battleground in recent times after it emerged that Starmer had accepted free hospitality tickets at the club he claims to support.
The Prime Minister has insisted he cannot sit among the fans due to 'security concerns' - and it appears his relationship with them has now soured.

During Arsenal's win over Bolton on Wednesday night, a banner appeared with the words: "Two-tier Keir."
A deliciously playful pun, considering the hospitality boxes are a tier above the rest of the fans, as well as referencing his controversial policing policies.
Starmer insisted that sitting with the fans would "cost the taxpayer a fortune" more due to the "additional security" he would need.
He said: "I've been offered tickets elsewhere in the ground where it's more secure.
"We don't have to use taxpayer money on additional security. And that's why I've taken the decision that I have."

Starmer has accepted more gifts and hospitality than any other MP, totalling over £100,000, since December 2019.
That is at least two-and-a-half times more than any other sitting MP, which includes Taylor Swift tickets during the election campaign worth £4,000, two Euros finals tickets worth £1,628 and tickets at Arsenal matches that amount to over £6,000.
Most recently, Starmer also accepted luxury accommodation worth £20,000 and insisted it was for his son to jot up on his GCSEs.

As for Arsenal, they stunned Bolton with several teenagers on the pitch including Ethan Nwaneri, who scored his first two goals for the club.
The 17-year-old has been tipped for stardom at the Emirates, where he is already the club's youngest-ever player when he made his debut two years ago at the age of 15 years and 181 days - also a Premier League record.
