On St George's Day: Is there a fight for the flag? Sir Keir Starmer wants the public to reclaim the English flag, saying "it belongs to all of us". Speaking at a Downing Street reception to mark St George’s Day, the Prime Minister pointed to the riots following the Southport stabbings, saying "there are people trying to sow division in our communities, people taking the red and white of our flag with them, as they throw bricks at businesses. We have to fight for our flag and for our values." 5 Live listeners got in touch to share their thoughts with Nicky Campbell.
