A Blatant Attempt To Seek Revenge

Twice at Prime Minister's Questions, Rishi Sunak declined to defend Kemi Badenoch against the allegations of Henry Staunton. If Staunton is telling the truth, then Badenoch has lied to Parliament.

But it was clear from Ben Bradshaw's question that the grown men's penises in little girls' changing rooms brigade had seen its opportunity to be rid of Badenoch. Not that she has ever been any use against it.

Sunak has always been unreliable on this issue. If he did need to replace Badenoch, then whom would he appoint as Minister for Women and Equalities? Thank goodness that George Galloway will soon be back in the House of Commons. Prepare to be held to account.

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 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.
