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: In Essex, the newly elected Reform UK administration removed the Ukrainian flag that had been flying outside the council building in Chelmsford. Farage confirmed that the Ukrainian flag there was replaced with the flag of the United Kingdom.
