The Lionesses should be awarded damehoods for the Euro 2025 victory, MPs have declared - hailing the players 'a total inspiration' and 'our national pride'.
Tory MP Wendy Morton said the entire England women’s football team should be honoured, insisting their collective achievement must not go unrecognised - unlike last time they won.
'These girls have done something extraordinary,' she said. 'They are such an inspiration so they absolutely should receive recognition for that.
'It was a team effort, so they should be honoured as a team. Often the people behind the scenes, and those who practice but don't actually get called to play, miss out on the glory - and they shouldn't.'
Fellow Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage also backed calls for official recognition, saying: 'They are our national pride. They showed remarkable resilience, teamwork and strength of character.
