DOWNING Street has insisted Boris Johnson is supportive of women’s football after his absence from Wembley and the lack of a No 10 reception for the Lionesses.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman was asked why the PM watched the women’s Euros triumph from Chequers but went to the men’s final last year.

Meanwhile the FA is understood to have decided against a bus parade on safety grounds.
But the England men’s cricket team were invited to No 10 and had bus parades after winning the Ashes in 2005.
So did the men’s Rugby World Cup victors in 2003.
The women’s national rugby and cricket teams have also previously had No 10 receptions.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was at Wembley on Sunday.
The PM’s spokesman said: “I think the public will judge the Government on the support it has given to women’s football.”
No 10 also said there will not be an extra bank holiday to celebrate after a call by Labour.
