PM sets up "beer committee" amid fears of beer shortages during 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

The UK could reportedly be facing the risk of a beer shortage during the 2026 World Cup this summer, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer already working to protect supplies.

According to Sun journalist Martina Bet in the X post below, Starmer has set up a secret “beer committee” in order to cope with any potential disruptions that could be caused by the current war in Iran…

According to her post, a Whitehall source said: “The war in the Middle East is clearly impacting Britain’s supply chains. But there’s nothing like a cold beer in the sun after a hard day’s work. So we’re pulling out the stops to secure our supplies of products like CO2, especially with the summer and the World Cup coming up.”

A World Cup without beer is certainly unthinkable for many who will be hoping to unwind with a few drinks whilst watching England and Scotland at this summer’s tournament.

The war in Iran has affected supplies and threatens to continue raising prices when it comes to things like gas, electricity, and petrol.

It would certainly not go down well if beer were also to be impacted while the biggest football competition in the world is on.
