No bonus bank holiday after Lionesses' victory

The Journal

July 29, 2025

DOWNING Street has brushed off calls for an extra bank holiday in the wake of the Lionesses’ Euros victory.

The Lionesses defended their Euros title in a penalty shootout win over Spain in the final in Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday.

The government had already indicated it was unlikely to heed calls for an extra bank holiday to herald England’s success.

Yesterday, the prime minister's official spokesman attempted to make light of calls for the additional day off work.

"If we had a bank holiday every time the Lionesses win we'd never go to work," he told reporters.
