Interesting article in the Guardian this morning.
Labour MPs and activists say their campaign literature has too much emphasis on our national flag. Many ethnic minorities equate the flag with the far right, so it should not be shown as prominently .
Comments please.

Rachel Reeves will be Chancellor of Exchequer, for Wales as well as England

I don't care, she isn't yet and neither Labour nor Welsh Labour own any national flags.

It's not Rachel Reeves I object to per se, in fact I like her, it's a politician using a national flag, as if they own it, for campaigning purposes.

Of course, if she does become PM and needs to speak to the nation on a matter of huge gravity relating to us all, she can drape one behind her then 🙂

Was she campaigning for her own constituency! doubt it, for the Labour Party and what they want to do for the country?
