Starmer seeks workaround to keep pubs open for England v Mexico

Keir Starmer is exploring ways to keep pubs open into the early hours after facing backlash over licensing rules that would force venues to close during England's World Cup match.

England booked a last-16 tie against Mexico, which is due to run until at least 3am UK time.

Starmer is seeking a workaround to ensure fans can watch the game without venues shutting early. forumteam.blog
