WorldbyStorm - 12:05 Thu Jan 22, 2026 I’m not one to follow the Commonwealth Games so I was unaware of the flag that the Northern Ireland team participating walks under. Hoo boy! Wow. It’s not uncontroversial, that’s for sure. Behold the Ulster Banner. Last time I saw that there was a bunch of them adorned on lamp posts northwest of Omagh on … Continue reading "That NI Commonwealth games flag"

But who? Notice that he said a “Labour figure” rather than “Labour MP”.
