Sir Keir Starmer stepped out of Nato meetings on Wednesday 10 July to watch Harry Kane score a first-half penalty in England’s Euro 2024 semi-final.

The Three Lions went 1-0 down to the Netherlands early in the match, before the captain was caught late inside the box.

After a VAR check, referee Felix Zwayer awarded England a spot kick.

Kane stepped up and smashed his penalty home, much to the delight of Sir Keir, who was watching from Washington DC.

“Picked the right moment to pop out from Nato meetings and check the score,” the prime minister wrote, sharing footage of himself celebrating the equaliser.

England went on to win the match 2-1 in dramatic fashion.

Djokovic wants an Olympics rule change after routing opponent who hadn't played singles in 2 years
Novak Djokovic smiled right along with everyone else when his first-round Paris Olympics opponent was so excited just to claim one game Saturday that he celebrated by pulling the bottom of his shirt over his head, baring his chest. After completing his 6-0, 6-1 victory in less than an hour, Djokovic was a little less amused, saying he doesn't think someone like Matthew Ebden — a 36-year-old doubles player from Australia who hadn't competed in a tour-level, main-draw singles match since June 2022 — should have been on the court without a teammate at the Summer Games. “I don’t think it’s a good image for the sport, to be honest,” he said about having a doubles player enter singles at the Olympics.
