Bodyguard is not a TV fiction for Labour’s Jewish MPs

-

Bodyguard is the new critically acclaimed drama from the BBC, starring Keeley Hawes. It centres on a fictional female Home Secretary and her close protection officer.

Meanwhile, out in the real world, Jewish Labour MPs have been offered their own bodyguards to protect them from militant anti- Semites at the party’s conference next month.

Who could have imagined that Jewish politician­s in Britain would ever need profession­al minders to guard them against their own so-called colleagues? actually, I could. Eleven years ago, I made a TV documentar­y exposing the new anti- Semitism coming from an unholy alliance of the hard Left and extreme Islamists. I’ve written about this vile threat frequently.

Few took me that seriously at the time, but they do now.

Ever since terrorist stooge Jeremy Corbyn and his Momentum thugs took over Labour, anti- Semitism has gone mainstream.

If this hatred was directed at any other racial or religious minority, the police ‘hate crime’ squad would be working overtime and feeling collars.

But Labour’s anti- Semites appear free to operate with impunity. Perhaps the Home Secretary, the dPP or the Met Commission­er would care to explain why. Bodyguard may be a TV drama, but for Jewish MPs it’s becoming a way of life.

SPREADSHEE­T Phil should have been sacked after his car-crash Budget in March 2017, which targeted natural Tory voters such as the selfemploy­ed and pensioners.

He was as much to blame for the Conservati­ves losing their majority in the kamikaze election which followed as Mother Theresa herself.

Back then I called him a second-rate Gordon Brown tribute act. He’s learned nothing and is now planning to raid private pension funds, just like Gordon did, to pay for more public spending.

Worse, this exceptiona­lly vain man, who has all the charisma of a rice pudding, is straining every sinew to wreck Brexit — something he was elected on a manifesto promise to implement.

Mother Theresa isn’t noted for her loyalty. She’s already jettisoned close friends and advisers for the sake of political expediency.

She should summon up the courage to remove Hammond before he can do any more damage, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
