Footballing bosses stopping England and Scotland players wearing armbands featuring poppies at a match on Armistice Day is "utterly outrageous" says Theresa May.

And the prime minister said to Fifa: "Before they start telling us what to do, they jolly well ought to sort their own house out."

She was responding to Labour MP Steve McCabe who said: "In this country, we decide when to wear poppies, and we will be wearing them at Wembley."

Fifa has reportedly turned down a request from England and Scotland for a game on 11 November, while Wales is waiting to hear about a game the next day, for players to mark those who have died in conflict.
