Labour MPs held an impromptu socialist singalong in the Commons this morning as they boycotted the prorogation ceremony in protest at Boris Johnson's decision to shut down parliament ahead of Brexit.
In scenes captured on video by shadow minister Danielle Rowley they sang the protest song The Red Flag which is the party anthem and is usually performed at the end of each of its annual conferences.
Its lyrics hail the fight for workers' rights, saying it was used to shroud the bodies of 'our martyred dead'. In the footage the MPs could be heard singing the chorus lines: 'Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer, We'll keep the red flag flying here.'
The Midlothian MP said: 'I know you’re not meant to film in the chamber, but everyone on the opposition benches is singing and this moment was beautiful.'
They performed the song after Tory MPs and the Speaker John Bercow had gone to the House of Lords to hear the proclamation of the prorogation decision read out.
It shut down parliament for five weeks, with MPs not due to sit again until October 14.

Those who say we won the Cold War have it wrong. The Soviet Union collapsed but Communism and all of its associated “isms” survived incredibly well. America and England are slipping down that sh*thole of Socialism and societal rot.
Basil Exposition: A lot's happened since you've been frozen. The Cold War's over!
Austin Powers: All right! Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades? Eh?
Basil Exposition: Austin... we won.
Austin Powers: Oh, smashing, groovy, yay capitalism!
Isn’t Dominic Cummings an unelected bureaucrat?

Our domestic enemies grow bolder by the day, with no consequences at all for their crimes against America.
Don’t the antifa fascists have a red flag?
