Sections of Chelsea fans aimed expletive-laden chants at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during their clash with Brentford on Saturday.
Daily Mail Sport understands the British Prime Minister was the target of several expletive-laden songs by the 1,700 Blues fans in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Chelsea fans chanted 'Keir Starmer is a w*****' and 'we've got Palmer, f*** Keir Starmer', while also singing 'Rule, Britannia' - an anthem which has been adopted by sections of the far-right in the country.
It comes just days after England fans sang abusive chants about the Labour leader, 63, during their World Cup qualifying win over Andorra at Villa Park in Birmingham.
Sections of support in the ground's Holte End could be heard chanting 'Keir Starmer is a w*****'.
Prior to kick-off vendors outside the ground vendors were also seen selling Union Jack flags emblazoned with 'stop the boats', in reference to the ongoing migrant crisis.

The songs were heard during Chelsea's trip to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium
Sir Keir, an Arsenal fan who was at the Emirates to see the Gunners beat Nottingham Forest earlier on Saturday, has frequently found himself the target of chants from football fans.
The incident comes after similar foul-mouthed chants could be heard as England defeated Andorra in the reverse fixture back in June.
To the tune of KC & The Sunshine Band's hit Give It Up, they could be head singing: 'Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na now, Starmer is a ****, is a ****, Starmer is a ****.'
England manager Thomas Tuchel - a former Chelsea manager - said he did not hear the songs but added: ''If it happened, it's not acceptable.'
Chelsea's match at Brentford came on the same day as Tommy Robinson supporters held a 'Unite The Kingdom' march in London.
Protesters hurled missiles at police officers in what is thought to be the largest right-wing demonstration in British history.
The march saw 110,000 anti-migrant activists march through central London today, with police reporting that they faced 'unacceptable violence' as they sought to control the crowds.
The event, organised by anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim activist Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, met at Stamford Street near Waterloo Bridge before making its way to the southern end of Whitehall.
