Boris Johnson just posed with a giant St George’s flag – 13 favourite things people said about it
England are playing a football match tonight – you might have heard about it – as they take on Ukraine for a place in the Euros semi-finals.

Its an optical illusion. The flag didn't get bigger it's just the stature of the UK Prime Minister that's been significantly reduced. pic.twitter.com/fDY6VSvUek
