Sir Keir Starmer England the World Cup World Cup Harry Kane
  • Sir Keir Starmer is anticipated to award honours to the men's England football team should they secure victory in the World Cup, with captain Harry Kane potentially receiving a knighthood and Jude Bellingham a major honour.
  • This move would represent a significant U-turn for the outgoing prime minister , who previously committed in 2023 to not issuing a traditional resignation honours list , citing controversies surrounding past lists.
  • Labour sources indicate that Sir Keir's strong passion for football has influenced his change of heart, with one source stating, "I think the football has changed his mind."

  • During his last Prime Minister's Questions, the World Cup dominated discussions, and Sir Keir has already pledged a bank holiday to celebrate if England wins the tournament.
