The Red Flag
Writer : Jim Connell
Musician : Billy Bragg
"The Red Flag" is a socialist song, emphasising the sacrifices and solidarity of the international labour movement.
"The Red Flag" has been the British Labour Party's official anthem from its founding; its annual party conference closes with the song. "The Red Flag" was first sung in the House of Commons on 1 August 1945, when Parliament convened after Clement Attlee's Labour defeat of Winston Churchill's Conservatives.
