Police unamused by Starmer’s 5 am pub call
A pint-sized row is brewing over England’s late kickoff against Mexico.
LONDON — Not everyone is happy that Prime Minister Keir Starmer decided to keep pubs open until 5 a.m. Monday for screenings of the England match against Mexico.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council complained that the “late announcement” means officers will be removed from other duties and work longer hours, despite the World Cup fixtures having “been known for a considerable time.” It’s the literal fun police. A spokesperson for the PM said that it wasn’t known until Wednesday that England would progress to this point in the competition and that the government has been liaising with police throughout.
But team Starmer won’t mind the cops reminding England fans who want to be in the pub at 4 a.m. that the PM is on their side.
