Downing Street said the holiday will fall on Monday May 8 following the coronation at Westminster Abbey two days earlier on Saturday May 6. It will take place across the UK.
The announcement follows calls from Tory MPs for the Government to either move the early May bank holiday from May 1 to coincide with the coronation weekend or to declare an extra day off.Read more: Gavin Williamson investigated over expletive-filled messages after he wasn’t invited to the Queen’s funeral
"I look forward to seeing people come together to celebrate and pay tribute to King Charles III by taking part in local and national events across the country in his honour."
Waste of time etc
Distraction politics what bad news are the tories hiding.
Can we have a week of celebration when the tories are out?
Thought the coffers were bare? Obviously not if they can afford yet another royal bank holiday.
Huzzah! I knew there was a reason to have a royal family! God bless you, squire!
All very well, but that’s another day’s trading lost for those of us in the private sector trying to generate income.
Will Sunak be there by May? Will he be there by December? In fact will he be there by next week.
That's my gardening schedule completely fucked for May, plus another days lost earnings. God save the King.
That’s nice
Even the Irish admit that all the centuries of pain & exploitation were worth it for this 💜🇬🇧
WoNt sOmEoNe ThInK oF tHe CaPiTaLiStS!?!?
FOR FUCK SAKE! Another one, the last extra bank holiday cost my company a small fortune in wages & lost productivity at a time when many companies are on a knife edge. Such a poor attitude towards the people & struggling companies during these difficult times I WILL BE WORKING!
'Bloody Pens'...

How will that help pay the bills for people on Zero Hours Contracts, Self Employed, ECT
Makes sense with a recession and all 🤣
The next circus coming to town.
Trying to be relevant. Bring down the monarchy. Time to modernise UK change is needed end the politician partys and create one government with the highest IQ people. People from all backgrounds who will serve for the better of the country and not to serve for their own interests
That’ll do wonders for GDP
Bread and games for the plebes
Love a day off 💝
nice distraction
We’ll need a day off after counting all the votes he got ………..
Great news! God Save the King 🇬🇧
The very reasonable discussion of “what’s the point of monarchy anymore?” after the queen’s death has been successfully avoided by the unbelievable clusterfuck that is british parliament atm. I’d say they were inextricably linked but for the fact that the culprits are quite dim.
The monarchy is saved! ( Semi seriously , no bank holiday would have caused rumbles )
Oh, in other news those millions not lucky enough to benefit from Bank Holidays couldn't care less
Only coz the Tories are trying to win votes .. laughable...better call an election instead of battering expenses
If there’s one things this country needs it another bank holiday. 😒
I hope it works around the more important and relevant F.A. Cup.
That's nice. If I still worked, I'd be even more pleased than I am.
But we all have complain why suela bowerman used a plain for her vist while we spending millions on this clown 🤡
I would rather go to work and get paid then sit at home watching this entitled fool get crowned!
Ffs he'll probably have croaked it by then
He’s looking more and more possessed the longer he tries to mask the truth.
3 bank holidays in May….can’t they spread them around the year a bit?!
Fingers crossed I'll be in my work (don't care if it's double bubble or not.)
Everyone liked that

Think about all this money going towards helping the people but instead y'all are paying for this rich f*ck to the crowned king.
I'll spend it in my PJs. Playing on the playstation. And eating cold pizza It what he wants me to do
Yippee
