ENGLAND cricket star Jonny Bairstow has won the admiration of Rishi Sunak for carrying a Just Stop Oil protester off the field during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s yesterday.
“I thought Bairstow was brilliant,” the cricket-loving PM told us at a Bloomberg party in the National Portrait Gallery last night. “I didn’t see it live, but I’ve seen it subsequently. I absolutely support it. He was great, it was a shame about the rest of the game though.” England played badly, allowing Australia to rack up the runs.
