Schools should teach patriotism and let pupils be unashamedly British, MPs heard on Wednesday.

Conservative MP Tom Hunt, member of the education select committee, told the group that Britain is not “some sort of racist hell hole” and the goal should be for young people to be proud to be British and a force for good.
