Quote: "We support the people of Ukraine, of course, but under Reform there will be no foreign flags flown above our public buildings."

Details: Council leader Peter Harris described the decision as a "proud moment".

"The replacement of the Ukraine flag does not diminish the support and generosity that Essex residents have shown the people of Ukraine since 2022, and I know this will continue," Harris said.

Background: The newly elected Reform UK administration in Essex removed a Ukrainian flag that had been flying outside the council building in Chelmsford. Farage confirmed that the Ukrainian flag has been replaced with the flag of the United Kingdom.
