A row has erupted after Reform UK pledged to ban local authorities from flying any flags aside from the Union Jack or the St George's Cross in councils they control.

...

As well as flags belonging to other countries, the measure will also prevent councils controlled by Reform from flying flags associated with movements, causes or anything else - for example the Pride flag.

A Reform source said: "The Tories seem more upset about Reform councils flying the union flag than their councils flying the trans flag. It sums up the state of the Tory party, the sooner they're consigned to the dustbin of history, the better."

This was another excuse for a Tory MP to call Farage 'Putin's puppet' as this policy means Ukrainian flags will also be banned.

But most Ukrainian flags fly from churches, despite the crackdowns on the Orthodox church in Ukraine, and private homes so it seems unlikely these can be banned.

Just more fake news to distract from the fact that a new Reform MP has joined Parliament.
