Prince Harry was armed only with vague suspicions and his usual tedious grudges at High Court
IS Prince Harry even aware that courts scrutinise evidence?
Perhaps we must add that to his epic dossier of ignorance.
Because his “Royal Highness” finally turned up to the High Court yesterday armed only with vague suspicions and his usual tedious grudges.
He recreationally sniped at the Government and ex-butler Paul Burrell.
Did his slick lawyers never advise him that their case would need more than just anger and paranoid speculation, some apparently made up on the spot?
Their test cases, cherry-picked presumably as the most damning, fell apart on the slightest examination.
Stories Harry alleged were illegally obtained by the Mirror either had plausible sources, including Palace spokesmen, or were already published elsewhere.
His accusations were vapid, unsubstantiated and some simply ridiculous.
When his claim that his mobile was hacked for a story in 1996 — two years before he first had one — was exposed as nonsense, Harry suddenly announced his mother Diana’s might have been intercepted instead . . . or maybe his security team’s landline.
He even absurdly claimed the Press invented false rumours about James Hewitt being his father, hoping to oust him from the Royals.
But Harry was once the most popular member — gold dust for the media. The accusation is bonkers.
This guff might pass muster for Part 2 of Spare, if Harry gifts us a second volume of his long and whining road.
Wild guesswork has no place in a court.
Woeful Starmer
CHURCHILL faced down the Nazis… Maggie Thatcher the Argentinian invaders.
Keir Starmer waves the white flag to a motley band of road-blocking eco vandals waging war on working people.
And how gleeful Just Stop Oil now are, hailing Labour’s limp leader as “the future Prime Minister” and gushing over his “stand” against new oil and gas.
That’s a “stand” against our energy security, against jobs, against Labour’s aghast union allies and against reason.
Starmer’s made a stand for a delusional middle-class protest cult — and for the oil-producing tyrannies on whom Labour would force Britain to rely for decades.
Boats battle
IT’S the nuclear option, but Rishi Sunak must overrule the Lords by law if need be to take decisive action on the small boats.
We cannot let hand-wringing peers and archbishops block the Rwanda deterrent.
It is simply unsustainable to allow tens of thousands of migrants a year to sneak into Britain illegally, costing taxpayers millions a day.
The Rwanda plan is not perfect.
What is the alternative? The Left has nothing.
If the PM needs to invoke the Parliament Act to make it happen, fine
