Political prisoner, activist, journalist, hymn-writer, emerging think tanker, aspiring novelist, "tribal elder", parliamentary candidate for North West Durham, Shadow Leader of the Opposition, "Speedboat", "The Cockroach", banned from Twitter so officially more dangerous than the Taliban, eagerly awaiting the second (or possibly third) attempt to murder me.
Many thanks also to Russia for providing us with a timely demonstration of how the RAF, and the UK's ability to police our own airspace have, like so many aspects of our conventional armed forces, been gutted as a consequence of the cost of keeping Trident in service
