Harry Redknapp slams 'idiotic' council over flag ban
6/17/202635 min
Ahead of England’s opening World Cup match against Croatia, Camilla Tominey discusses Thomas Tuchel’s squad with England legend Harry Redknapp, who gives his honest take on whether a foreign manager like Tuchel should lead the national team, why he would take Harry Kane over Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric, and slams the “idiotic” local council trying to ban flags from being flown close to roads.
Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim Stanley discuss this week’s Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions with David Lammy facing Claire Coutinho, and whether Keir Starmer is getting more deluded by the day for offering Andy Burnham a job in his Cabinet.
