England take on Spain in the final of Euro 2024 on Sunday and British PM Keir Starmer has dropped a hint over a potential holiday if they win.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has made the clearest indication yet that there will be an additional Bank Holiday if England are crowned European champions this weekend.A petition for an additional Bank Holiday is gathering pace ahead of the final, while comments made by Starmer previously have suggested he is open to doing so.Speaking ahead of the Lionesses' World Cup final against Spain last year, he called on then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to call a Bank Holiday if they won.
The Labour leader has now dropped a major hint that an additional Bank Holiday could be called for Monday, the day after the final.The PM, who is currently meeting world leaders at the 75th NATO summit, said: "We must mark it in some way, but the most important thing is getting it over the line on Sunday."Starmer met with United States president Joe Biden on Wednesday but said he managed to catch some of England's win over the Netherlands.
