Starmer signals bank holiday if England wins World Cup, contingent on quarter-final victory first

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told the BBC an extra bank holiday would likely follow an England World Cup victory, though he declined to commit explicitly, saying "ask me again if we get to the final." The World Cup final is scheduled for 19 July. Any holiday would most likely fall on Friday 24 July. England must first beat Norway in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
