Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that pubs and bars in England and Wales will be allowed to stay open until 1am on May 8th to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day. This temporary extension gives pubgoers two extra hours to mark the historic occasion, which commemorates the end of World War II in Europe. The move is designed to encourage nationwide celebration and remembrance. There are also calls for Scotland to follow suit and allow similar late-night openings. The decision has been widely welcomed as a patriotic gesture and a boost for the hospitality sector.
