The Royal British Legion has faced backlash for releasing an £8 Poppy Appeal badge featuring the Progress Pride flag alongside the traditional red poppy. The flag includes colours representing various marginalised communities, including binary, intersex, and trans people, chosen over the classic rainbow flag as a more inclusive symbol for sexual orientation and gender identity, according to a Legion spokesperson. Some veterans and campaigners have criticised the badge on social media, calling it an unnecessary move by the organisation. Alex Phillips and politcal commentator Benedict Spence discuss. #news #politics #uk #talk #talkradio
