Psychic pooch predicts England will win World Cup and Keir Starmer will go in 2026
Britain’s top mystic mutt Russell Pant has made a list of predictions for 2026, which include Arsenal winning the league for the first time since 2004 and AI spiralling out of control
It’s official – England will win the World Cup and Sir Keir Starmer will be deposed as PM this year.
The Daily Star hired the services of Britain’s number one psychic pooch – Russell Pant –to predict major events. Calling on all its powers of prophecy, the mystic mutt has good news for Harry Kane and England football fans, but it will be ruff for others.
Sadly Russell reckons the rest of the home nations will be barking up the wrong tree, with Scotland not getting to the knock-out stages with Wales and Northern Ireland failing to make the tournament in the play-offs, both losing to Italy.
When it comes to the Premier League, our horoscope-loving hound pointed to Arsenal lifting the title for the first time since 2004. And troubled reigning champs Liverpool will say goodbye to legendary striker Mohamed Salah – but boss Arne Slot will keep his job.
That’s more than can be said about Sir Keir Starmer, who will be on his way out of Downing Street after a Labour Party revolt. Our canine clairvoyant thinks Wes Streeting will bite at the chance to take over instead.
Thankfully there won’t be World War Three in 2026 and alien contact is not on the cards but Russell warned we will have other things to worry about as artificial intelligence spirals out of control. The rise of the bots will see the world face its first major breach caused by a “runaway AI agent” causing chaos around the globe.
Computer systems will fail because AI machines won’t trust each other, shutting down systems that lean on them like banking terminals and airport baggage handling.
Let’s hope that doesn’t hamper punters trying to buy concert tickets – because the Spice Girls are going to reunite to mark their 30th anniversary, according to our mystic. Other predictions are Meghan Markle to attempt to reboot her brand with a beauty range and Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant to get a knighthood – but he won’t be the only one.
Buckingham Palace will finally listen to the thousands of readers backing the Daily Star’s campaign to make Kevin Sinfield a Sir too. The heroic former rugby league star has raised millions for motor neurone research in memory of his late pal Rob Burrow.
