After another bruising week in British politics, it feels good to end on a note of agreement. Both Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak have condemned kit manufacturer (excuse me: American kit manufacturer) Nike for changing the Cross of St George on the new England football shirt.
I was tempted to lightly mock this story, but on reflection I'd much rather bathe in its reassuringly retro waters. The debate just feels very 1990s. One half expects Tony Blair to show up with a British Bulldog in a party election broadcast. (This is not my imagination run wild – it actually happened.)
