PM hints at plans to 'mark' an England Euro 2024 victory
The UK should “certainly mark the occasion” if England win Euro 2024, Sir Keir Starmer has said amid calls for an extra bank holiday in the event of victory.
The prime minister appeared to suggest he would not commit to an extra day off as he said did not want to “jinx anything” by pre-empting the result of Sunday’s final between Gareth Southgate’s team and Spain.

Solicitor Jonathan Bridge said many grooming gang victims doubt a new inquiry will help. He said previous investigations exposed failures by councils and police. Instead, he said that victims want therapy, compensation and accountability, not more inquiries, adding that most have “never asked” for a public inquiry. Report by Covellm.

Chris Philp says police and councils “deliberately covered up” grooming gang crimes, putting “race relations” ahead of protecting vulnerable girls. The shadow home secretary also claims the prime minister only announced the national inquiry after being “dragged kicking and screaming” by Baroness Casey’s report into child sexual exploitation.
