Why, in your opinion, was Starmer so quick off the blocks in asking to scrap the kit?

strong and stable with me, or...
Starmer appears to operate on some kind of voter matrix algorithm AI where he will say what is needed on matters such as this to get voters to vote for him that wouldn't normally.
Or he really doesn't like the kit.
*buzzes* Because he was asked a leading question in an interview (on a broad range of topics)?

Was Thornberry caught 'off guard' similarly?
Were that the case, I'm sure he could have adopted a neutral stance rather than 'scrap it'.

Beat you to that one and it's for Team GB in the Olympics not England.
Then you’d have said he doesn’t have an answer. It was cheap journalism designed to drag certain types in. Nothing more.

All this anti Nike stuff is a little bit misplaced.
They are merely the manufacturer, someone at the FA signed this off

Switching from Adidas to Nike. Uproar in Germany. Hard to imagine the Germans not being kitted out with the three stripes.Apparently the Germans are up in arms about a football kit now. It's all very queer

it is worth stating, in capitals:
NO ONE HAS CHANGED THE f***ing FLAG!
God, what a bunch of morons we have in this country. Easily triggered, one might even say 'snowflake' morons as well. How did it come to this? When did the English become so stupid that they can mistake a design on a shirt for our national flag? I'd like to think it's only a tiny minority of Lee Anderson types but I'm not sure it is. It is really, genuinely, depressing.
Nike stated; “A playful update to the
of St. George”. What else could that mean?
Well, they're the manufacturers and designers. Their idea, for better or worse.All this anti Nike stuff is a little bit misplaced.

Why our political leaders want to make quotes about something so trivial is beyond me. It is only a tiny cross on the back of the neck that no one would ever see.
Now if they spoke out against the rip off price of it, I could understand

I must be one of the easily triggered morons you speak of, but at least I served 31 years in HM Forces protecting British peoples‘ right to spout whatever utter cack they choose to.Exactly. I can't believe how much crap this has generated, both here and elsewhere, but it is worth stating, in capitals:

The previous shirt had a miniature England flag on the back of the neck, this has been removed, presumably by some woke wally at the FA and replaced with some meaningless rectangle that most patriotic English people aren’t in favour of. These people include the Prime Minister and the Leader of The Opposition and numerous other distinguished and eloquent individuals from all elements of the political and social spectrum.
What’s genuinely depressing is the ability of so many people to succeed in starting a fight, on their own in a phone box.

Indeed, it's just Farage and Co causing division, not our beloved leader in waiting.
You haven’t actually watched the Starmer interview then?

Tbf I wouldn’t disagree with him going
Not overly bothered, but a masterstroke by Nike marketing. No new shirt has had this much press coverage.

It isn't a flag. It's a thing on a shirt. Like a poppy (remember that debacle?). It has only been on the shirt for 15 years or so and this is not the first 'interpretation' cross. We have had wavy crosses, and we have had Chevrolet badge shaped ones (I have one like that. Lovely, it is).
Don't be triggered by oaves like Anderson and Farrage. You're better than that
I’m not being triggered but them idiots. I am allowed to have an opinion that isn’t my usual
Left if centre type.
