A Place for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A Place for England is a proposal to establish an English Devolution Office led by a Secretary of State and to create a Council of England to bring together regional & local leaders. The aim is to give England as a whole an enhanced voice within the United Kingdom.

@Glasgow_2026 @thecgf Good luck to Team England

@thecep @UKinUSA Ah, just seen that tween too. I guess our friends over the wall will have something to say about that too.

@PlaceForEngland @UKinUSA In fairness, they did clobber Scotland with a Union Flag too.

🇬🇧⚽️

@AAPTherapies For what it's worth, I am a big supporter of Wales' devolved institutions, was glad to see Plaid Cymru win the election, and would have no objection to Wales becoming independent if that is what the majority want. I want to see England offered the choice Wales was given in 1997.

@PlaceForEngland Very few union flags here, and they are not wanted. We have one flag , this little beauty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Welsh not Brits

In Scotland and Wales, public buildings usually fly two flags, the Union Flag and their own national flag. If this was the case in England too, the English flag would be a lot more visible in public and there wouldn’t be a need for people to cable-tie it to lamp posts.

@thecep @UKinUSA What flag will they use for the Scotland team or will the Scottish Affairs Office in Washington DC tweet in support instead?

@PlaceForEngland @UKinUSA Unbelievable!

@LDForFederalUK Is this page still active?

The concept of a federal UK still isn't widely considered by many, who see only a binary choice between unionism and independence. We #LibDems need to make others aware that there is another option. #FederalistNotUnionist

@IPPRNorth The North of England

The Olympics has never come to the North. It's time that changed. Here's why a Northern Games would be game changing 🏅⬇️

@HJB_News__ Fallout 76 is actually a really good game. Not sure why it gets so much hate.

UK illegal migrant loses his temper as store that gives illegal migrants free PlayStation 5’s on behalf of Oxford city council runs out.

@CumbrianFella_ It’s the historic county of Cumberland which has slightly larger boundaries than today’s unitary authority with the same name.

📍Carlisle, Cumbria The Citadel in Carlisle city centre is amazing. This was the southern entrance to the “city” built in 1540 under the reign of Henry VII.

@CumbrianFella_ 1960s brutalism !!!

Which style of architecture would you prefer to see?

@CumbrianFella_ Cumbria is not a historic county, but an artificial construct created in the 1970s. Barrow and the rest of Furness is in historic Lancashire. Someone claiming to be a patriot should know this.

📍Barrow, Cumbria Barrow Town Hall is a stunning Victorian gothic municipal building built in 1882.

@MagicalV31610 Would be better if both the Union Flag and the flag of England were flown there

London's charm is in the details, like the union jack and blue flag 🇬🇧 📍 Leicester Square, London, UK 🇬🇧

@archeohistories Nice that you used both flags

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem; a Grade II listed public house in Nottingham, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧; which claims to have been established in 1189 AD, although there is no documentation to verify this date. The building rests against Castle Rock, upon which Nottingham Castle is built, and is attached to several caves, carved out of the soft sandstone. These were reputedly originally used as a  brewhouse for the castle, dating from the medieval period. The earliest known reference to name "Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem" was in 1799 AD. Before being known by its current name, it is believed that the pub was named "The Pilgrim" and references to this name date back to 1751 AD. The current name is believed to come from belief that pilgrims or crusaders would stop at the inn on their journey to Jerusalem. Some elements of the pub's name are misunderstood in the modern day: "Ye Olde" is properly pronounced "the old" and "trip" refers to a stop on a journey, rather than the journey itself. Locals often use a shortened version of the name, "the Trip". Brew House Yard acquired its name after 1680 AD. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of several pubs claiming to be the oldest in England; others that claim to be the oldest include Ye Olde Salutation Inn and The Bell Inn, also in Nottingham, and Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans, north of London. The pub claims that it was established in 1189 AD, the year that Richard the Lionheart became king and Pope Gregory VIII called for a Third Crusade to the Holy Land; however, there is no documentation to verify this date. Evidence suggests that caves in the rock against which the pub is built were used as a brewhouse for Nottingham Castle, and may date from around the time the castle was built in 1067 AD. The oldest parts of the current building were likely constructed between 1650-1660 AD, though a map by John Speed shows a previous building in existence in 1610 AD. By 1751 AD, the building was being used as an inn with the name The Pilgrim, and was shortly after that date purchased by William Standford. The first record of the use of the name Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem dates from 1799 AD. #archaeohistories

@Englishremnant By this logic, white Australians, Americans and South Africans won’t feel anything for their countries.

As a native Englishman, descended from Anglo-Saxons, Celtic Britons & Bronze Age Beaker folk, my bond with this land runs deep. The soil, hills, woodland & rivers aren’t just scenery, they’re inheritance, ancestral memory, & home.If you aren't ethnically English you won't feel it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@RealCounties With the move to unitary local government, there has never been a better time to abolish “ceremonial counties” and realign lieutenancy areas with traditional counties.

Think England’s counties were created by the Normans after 1066? Think again. Most of England’s historic counties were already centuries old by the time William the Conqueror arrived - with origins in ancient kingdoms, shires and territories dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period and earlier. Yorkshire. Kent. Sussex. Essex. Norfolk. Somerset. Devon. These are not modern administrative inventions - they are part of England’s historic geography and identity, enduring for hundreds (and often well over a thousand) years. The Normans conquered England. They did not invent England’s counties.

@ChrisFi65328659 It dates back to 1801 actually and no-one is trying to ban it.

This Flags origins date back to 1606 Yet 1 Person a elected PM Wants to Ban it . No PM should be allowed to Ban anything unless put to a vote by the people.

Come Together.

@CowntJrakula That is what I was suggesting. If public institutions flew both flags, people wouldn’t see the need to take matters into their own hands.

@PlaceForEngland My point was that there are ample alternatives before needing to resort to lampposts, you know, legal options.

In Scotland and Wales, public buildings usually fly two flags, the Union Flag and their own national flag. If this was the case in England too, the English flag would be a lot more visible in public and there wouldn’t be a need for people to cable-tie it to lamp posts.

@RiganteCorsair @PGAChampionship Nobody in England would say “world cup soccer ball”. It’s called football here. If a black player scored the goal that won the world cup for England, almost everyone here would be cheering.

@PlaceForEngland @PGAChampionship Nahh and no thanks. Will be like the Euro or World cup soccer ball sessions, my AFRICAN team beat the other EURO teams, african teams. Like, what's the point? Sells, tickets and money?

It's coming home. 🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎶 Well done to England's Aaron Rai. #PGAChamp

@CowntJrakula Read my post properly. Flying flags on public buildings may reduce flags on lamp posts so councils won’t need to take down tattered self-placed flags.

@PlaceForEngland There still isnt a need to cable tie them to lamp posts. Stick one in your garden, hang it out your window, tattoo it on your forehead if you want, but don't waste my council tax cleaning up after your little nationalistic tantrum.
