Screenshot of a post by The National with a picture of Keir Starmer smiling in front bunting of the English flag. The text reads: "NEW: Keir Starmer has said he hangs the English flag in his home and 'always sits front of a Union Jack' He told the BBC: 'I'm very encouraging of flags. I think they're patriotic and a great symbol of our nation.'"

"Always sits in front of a Union Jack" is pretty weird to be honest. I mean, does he have one draped over the back of every chair the house and over the bed's headboard? Has he had one painted on the underside of the lid of his toilet?

    Little known fact about ol' Keir, but this is what he wears around the house:

    Haha, that's definitely possible.

    An alternative is that as he's always in front of the Union Jack... perhaps he simply has a "special personal assistant" dressed like this, who is always behind him in his home?

    Keir: "Bring out the special personal assistant"

    Servant: "But the special personal assistant's sleeping"

    Keir: "Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?"

    My thinking was that he sits facing it, like you would sit in front of the TV. But instead of the tele, he is just staring at red, white and blue like a true patriot.
