Last weekend, two men in homemade English flag balaclavas were filmed running around Walsall in the West Midlands, painting red crosses on white surfaces. On social media, they were called 'absolute idiots' by some - but others said they were 'saving the country'. (Pics from SWNS)
A picture of a man in a blue T-shirt wearing a homemade balaclava painted with the St George's Cross and holding a paint roller covered in red paint. It is beside another picture of the same man with another who is wearing a white T-shirt and a similar head covering.

There's a lot of heat around yesterday's vote on the Children's Wellbeing Bill – I tried to explain why it's more complex than it may appear in my latest Alright Gov newsletter. Subscribe here: metro.co.uk/newsletters/...

Who could Musk have in mind for the next Reform leader? Surely not the man whose videos he's been retweeting the last few days, and who he wants to see released from prison...?

NEW: Looks like the government's latest Plan for Change does actually mention the target of delivering the highest sustained growth in the G7, after much chatter to the contrary...

I've read that Trump values people who 'look the part' very highly when making his cabinet picks. Which explains Pete Hegseth – he looks like the US Defence Secretary in a Paul Verhoeven movie
