Notice This

There is a D-Notice in place to stop reporting of the fact that the SAS has deployed to Cyprus, from which there have been at least 33 RAF transport flights to Tel Aviv in the last month. But a D-Notice is only a request, and in any case I have never received one, although by all accounts they are very polite and professional. 

The SAS is in Gaza, and it is not protecting hospitals, every single one of which there has now been bombed. Against officially 300,000, but in fact one million, people who marched peacefully yesterday for the views of 76 per cent of the population, the SAS is fighting for the three per cent who were represented by the tiny rabble of tanked up and coked up knife-wielders who rioted at the Cenotaph on Armistice Day, injuring nine Police Officers. It is doing so with the strong support of both main political parties, each of which has therefore chosen that rabble, as, unlike the SAS or the RAF, it is free to do.

But 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.
