British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took to social media on Sunday to congratulate Arsenal on clinching the Premier League title, a triumph that ends a 22‑year wait for the club’s supporters.
The victory over Manchester City not only restored pride to the Emirates but also offered a rare bright spot for the Labour leader, who has been under pressure after a series of setbacks for his party in recent elections.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is set to lift the trophy after the final match against Crystal Palace, a moment that will be broadcast live as the club’s long‑awaited celebration spills into the early hours of Monday.
Midfielder Eberechi Eze was among the players who stayed up until 5 a.m. local time, sharing photos of the trophy and the empty stadium bathed in sunrise, while fans gathered outside the ground to chant and wave flags.
Footage showed Arsenal players walking around Emirates Stadium as the sun came up, the city of London waking to the sound of cheers and the sight of blue and white scarves fluttering from every window.
