Extra Bank Holiday If England Win Euro 2022 Backed By Labour Leader Keir Starmer

England beat Sweden to reach Sunday's final at Wembley "They have already done us proud, but if they win it will be a truly historic achievement - one that should be marked with a proper day of celebration, where clubs can open and promote access for women and girls."

Last summer, there were calls for the Prime Minister to grant an extra bank holiday if England beat Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, which ended in a penalty shootout win for the Azzurri. The idea of the extra was understood to have been discussed in Government at the time, with Johnson refusing to rule out the idea.Labour leader Keir Starmer has joined calls for an extra bank holiday to be granted if England win the tournament

Former Sports Minister Tracey Crouch is among those now calling for an extra bank holiday if England's women go one step further. :"The Lionesses have already made the nation so proud, blazing a trail for women's football everywhere."If we win on Sunday, let's give everyone a chance to celebrate with a special bank holiday as we said we would for the men.
