It’s coming home… maybe. The chances of England winning the World Cup this summer are looking much better than most of us would have dared to dream.

Fans have a solution – a bank holiday this coming Monday! Some 240,000 supporters have already signed a petition supporting the idea.
Once a petition reaches 100,000 signatures, Parliament has to at least consider debating the motion.

“We need this for all those supporting England as the next day will not be pleasant for all fans.”

“But I think it is the case that Jeremy believes that if England were to win the World Cup there should be a public bank holiday in celebration.
“The World Cup is a very special international competition.
“It’s something that brings people together on a very large scale and we need recognition of that and recognition of the importance of football in the country.”
However, bad news, lads and ladies. Normally it takes months for such debates to come round to Parliament. But if everyone lobbies Theresa May hard enough…
