Fly solo, Frank... or phone a friend

Did you notice Frank Field MP trying to do the best by those who lost out with the abolition of the 10p tax rate?

He and a small number of Labour rebels were challenging the Budget unless those who were short after the scrapping of the 10p tax rate were fully compensated.

Alas, the endeavours of Frank Field and his merry bunch of men (and women) came to nothing as the sinister ZaNuLiebour machine made kittens out of a few of Field's floppiest of faint-hearted followers. The rebellion was easily defeated in the House of Snouts.

The sinister stories that the floppies followed and bowed obediently down to were described by Diane Abbott, who said: "There has been some talk in the past 48 hours that... the Government will not be able to collect taxes, the markets will crash and Government will grind to a halt... these are tales to frighten children".

But - as ever - not enough people on the ZaNuLiebour benches backed the nucleus of proper Labour MPs who still have a moral compass.

So, we call on Frank Field - a very decent man if ever there was one - to do the right thing. Leave ZaNuLiebour. Set up a party called OldLabour. There are probably far more votes in it than there are going down on the bad ship Gormless.

Decent Labour MPs stuck inside the ZaNuLiebour machine could join Frank Field in an exodus. We'd start by suggesting Kate Hoey and the aforementioned Diane Abbott follow him.

If ZaNuLiebour win the next General Election, Spain will have an even more huge immigration problem - as millions more of the British people get the hell out of here.

Of course ZaNuLiebour will lose. Duh... who'd vote for them? Who haven't ZaNuLiebour alienated yet?

And so once Gormless calls the election (provided we don't end up under ZaNuLiebour martial law) and once the glorious day comes when ZaNuLiebour get kicked out of office, a phoenix has the chance to rise from the ashes.

Let Frank Field lead the way, with Hoey and Abbott his colonels - three out of roughly six or seven MPs on the Government benches worthy of their seat and who will all surely be re-elected.

Let them decontaminate themselves from their association with the ZaNuLiebour brand. They are good politicians who deserve better than to be judged negatively by association - an association that by now, they ought to have the courage to end.

Were they to be brave enough, these three could start to rebuild what the freedom-hating ZaNuLiebour project has destroyed.

Leave the ZaNuLiebour clones, apparatchiks and lobby fodder faceless behind. Drag the remnants of the Labour Party out with you. Fly away home ladybird and rebuild from your position of principle and value and give natural Labour supporters something worth supporting again.
