LONDON, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is feeling “sleep-deprived” after watching England beat World Cup co-hosts Mexico in the small hours this morning. Starmer watched the game, which kicked off at 2 a.m. London time, in his Downing Street flat with his teenage son. “He’s a touch sleep-deprived this morning but incredibly proud of the team and incredibly proud to be English after that performance,” a spokesperson for the PM told reporters. “This morning’s victory in the heat of the Azteca stadium and at altitude against the host nation was up there for him as one of England’s best ever performances.”
