And if England manage to make it to their first World Cup final since 1966 on Sunday and triumph, well the Labour party are calling for a bank holiday to be declared next Monday to let the country celebrate.Â
In a tweet after the quarter final, the official Labour account wrote: '˜If it's coming home '“ our workers deserve to be at home too! Say you stand with Jeremy Corbyn and tell the Tories to give us a national bank holiday if England win the World Cup, so we can celebrate together as a nation.'Â
This is not the first time the Labour party have called for a bank holiday this World Cup, with Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry saying last month that one should be declared if any of the UK nations make it a World Cup final.Â
