Labour have been criticised for sharing a video on Twitter that celebrates St. George’s Day as it includes footage of Glasgow.
Since St. George’s Day is a tradition celebrated on April 23 in England, people were quick to comment on the mishap.
Leader of the Labour party, Keir Starmer, tweeted the video along with a message which reads: “On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish everyone in England a very happy St George’s Day!”
The video is narrated by Starmer and he explains to his followers that he is travelling to places in England for Labour’s local election campaign.
