Protection Operation

Violently arrested in front of her small child for non-payment of a bus fare that she had in fact paid. You would think that there were already a Starmer Government. Do not let it happen.

When I tell you that there is going to be a hung Parliament, then you can take that to the bank. I spent the 2005 Parliament saying that it was psephologically impossible for the Heir to Blair's Conservative Party to win an overall majority. I predicted a hung Parliament on the day that the 2017 General Election was called, and I stuck to that, entirely alone, all the way up to the publication of the exit poll eight long weeks later. And on the day that Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister, I predicted that a General Election between him and Keir Starmer would result in a hung Parliament.

To strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty, we need to hold the balance of power. Owing nothing to either main party, we must be open to the better offer. There does, however, need to be a better offer. Not a lesser evil, which in any case the Labour Party is not.

  1. A Starmer Government might pass the chambers but it will not pass the streets.

    1. We need to make sure that it did not pass either.

  2. Who's to take them on? No Diane Abbott as Shadow Home Secretary now.

    1. No, indeed. This kind of thing is active anticipation of Yvette Cooper.
