He's against modified UK emblem... then puts one on Reform's footie tops

Farage's flagging*

NIGEL Farage has been accused of hypocrisy after flogging football jerseys featuring a modified British flag after he slated England and Team GB for doing the same thing.

When the England shirts included a multicoloured version of the St George's flag last year, the Reform leader branded it an "absolute joke".

And he also lashed out at Team GB merchandise, saying he was "dead against" changes to the Union Jack.

But at the weekend, he unveiled a range of Reform-branded footie kits featuring a pale blue and white version of the British flag, without a dash of red to be seen.
