Two prisons have been ordered to remove the so-called pride progress flag following a complaint from an MP who said the flag “promotes the idea you can be born in the wrong body.”

Justice Secretary Alex Chalk said the “incorrectly flown” flags had been taken down from HMP Pentonville and HMP Wandsworth.
