December 19th 2024.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has issued a playful challenge to the team at Metro for a festive showdown on FC24, also known as Fifa. It's the Christmas event that everyone is talking about, and today, Sir Ed will go head-to-head with the Metro team on the virtual football field.
If you've been keeping up with the latest political news, you may have seen Sir Ed's recent antics on TikTok where he called out Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer for a one-on-one match to determine the ultimate virtual football champion. However, Sir Keir has yet to respond to the challenge. So, in the spirit of fairness, the Metro team has decided to put Sir Ed's skills to the test before any potential showdown.
Our senior political reporter Craig Munro and gaming TikTok expert Izzie Jones will be making their way to Lib Dem headquarters later today for what will be the UK's first newspaper versus party leader PlayStation 5 duel. Sir Ed will have a team of young carers by his side, just like the ones he sings with in his bid for the 2025 Christmas number one with his song "Love is Enough."
With the deadline for sales counting towards the title being tonight at midnight, our Fifa match holds even greater significance as it could serve as a final push for the public to buy Sir Ed's single before the results are announced. It's not just about bragging rights anymore, there's a lot more at stake.
Adding to the excitement, Craig will also have the opportunity to interview Sir Ed about important topics such as young carers, his Christmas plans, and other pressing matters for the Liberal Democrats. It's safe to say that it will be a chaotic and unpredictable event, and you can watch it all unfold live on the Metro and Lib Dem TikTok channels.
Get ready to see Metro's man in parliament, who despite being relatively young, knows very little about video games, football, and TikTok, struggle to navigate the controller. And don't forget to stick around for Izzie, who actually knows her way around the game, and the talented young carers who will show us all how it's done.
Because what better way to get into the Christmas spirit than with a lively gaming livestream featuring Britain's biggest newspaper and the MP for Kingston and Surbiton. So, tune in and join in on the fun as we bring the boom in Fifa and spread some holiday cheer.
