From Wikipedia:
Politically, The Sun in the early Murdoch years remained nominally Labour-supporting. It advocated a vote for the Labour Party led by Harold Wilson in the 1970 General Election,[35] with the headline "Why It Must Be Labour",[36] but by February 1974 it was calling for a vote for the Conservative Party led by Edward Heath while suggesting that it might support a Labour Party led by James Callaghan or Roy Jenkins.[35] In the October election an editorial asserted: "ALL our instincts are left rather than right and we would vote for any able politician who would describe himself as a Social Democrat."[35] In the 1975 referendum on Britain continuing membership of the European Economic Community, it advocated a vote to stay in the Common Market.[37]

In the Southwest the support is more muted...

In Northern Ireland the mood is one of anger. The unionist majority has condemned the coup as an attack on the Queen. Whereas the nationalist minority have regarded the move as a source of satisfaction...

Maybe we are going to see a realignment in Northern Ireland politically. A left wing (but still very religious) unionist movement. Also an even harsher crackdown on the IRA if the Wilson government survives

If Anthony Blunt can be left in peace for doing everything but giving Khrushchev a sponge bath, well connected, well intended folk on the right, will be left unspanked
 
"There's been a lot of shite about what the SAS thought. They sworn a oath of loyalty to the Queen, not that tosser Mountbatten. Whatever happened at Downing Street there weren't one lad who disobeyed orders"
