Keir Starmer signaled openness to an extra bank holiday if England win the World Cup, suggesting the idea could be revisited should the team reach the final. Speaking from the NATO summit in Ankara, he praised England’s recent performance and exchanged friendly comments about the upcoming match with Norway’s prime minister. Starmer said he declined calls to intervene over Jarell Quansah’s red card, contrasting this with Donald Trump’s successful appeal to allow Folarin Balogun to play. England face Norway on Saturday as they pursue their first World Cup title in six decades.
