World Cup bank holiday in the UK

There’s lots of talk in England about declaring a bank holiday should the Three Lions really bring football home.

Keir Starmer has refused to confirm whether England would get a bank holiday if it won the tournament for the first time in 60 years, saying: “I don’t want to jinx it, but ask me again if we get to the final.”

That chatter has piqued the interest of Welsh nationalists in Cardiff who have long sought a bank holiday marking St. David’s Day on March 1, matching the holidays already granted to Scotland and Northern Ireland for their equivalent days.

A spokesperson for the Welsh nationalist party Plaid Cymru told Blue Light News: “If England winning means a new bank holiday, would that mean we’re a step closer to getting one for St David’s Day in Wales? That’s something to support!”
