England fans are asking whether a World Cup win would bring an extra bank holiday, with the final set for Sunday 20 July. Before he resigned as prime minister last month, Keir Starmer hinted he was open to the idea, noting England last won the World Cup under a Labour government. Any decision would now rest with his successor, and no bank holiday has been confirmed.
