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.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will pass a last-minute law allowing pubs to remain open and keep doling out the booze during England’s next World Cup match in the early hours of Monday morning.

His local government secretary, Steve Reed, had been urging councils to allow the move, but some were still holding out.

After pressure from opposition lawmakers in the House of Commons Thursday, Starmer announced pubs will be able to remain open until 5 a.m. U.K. time — with the government tweaking licensing rules on Friday so establishments don’t need to ask local councils first.

“Football might be coming home but we’re making sure fans don’t have to,” Starmer said.
