About two months ago, I experienced a clear and troubling vision of a maritime disaster.
As I told my audience on the YouTube channel where I share my prophecies, I had seen a ship – I believed it was likely an oil tanker – in great trouble.
‘I feel as if there will be some sort of pollution,’ I told them.
Just one week later, on March 10, the container ship MV Solong collided with the US oil tanker MV Stena Immaculate in the North Sea. The crash caused the explosion of a vast fireball and the leaking of some 18,000 tons of fuel into the water.
It was yet another uncannily accurate prophecy which has led to me – an otherwise ordinary 71-year-old from Southampton – to be hailed the ‘new Nostradamus’, after the 16th-century seer who predicted the Great Fire of London, the French Revolution and both world wars.
Others have given me a less flattering moniker: the ‘Prophet of Doom’.
Whatever you want to call me, it is true that, in recent years, I have forecast some of the world’s most extraordinary events – from the Covid-19 pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth to Labour’s election victory and the attempted assassination of US President Donald Trump.
And I feel compelled to share further visions I have received for our future, for it seems that the recent turbulence we have experienced on the global stage is far from over.

I sense strongly that, in the next 100 days, our Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will be deposed and replaced by one of his closest allies: current Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
There will be trouble, too, for the Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. While I admire her greatly, I sense that her strength of character will not be enough to unify her floundering party with once-leading figures – even including Jacob Rees-Mogg – set to defect to Reform.
These are far from the only dramatic events that have presented themselves to me. I believe that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be stripped of their HRH titles and, within less than two years, they will separate.
Meanwhile, closer to Buckingham Palace, I believe that further scandal will engulf the beleaguered Prince Andrew, for whom the recent death of Virginia Giuffre will mark not the closure of a difficult chapter but the opening of another.
I have had many other visions, but first it might be helpful to explain how I came about my gifts, and how they work.
I was born with a sixth sense – not that I knew it as such at the time. Even as a child, I saw auras around people and could sense their energies.
Growing up in post-war Britain, however, I didn’t have the language to articulate how I felt and what I saw. So I put it to the back of my mind, focusing instead on building a more orthodox career than the one via which I would make my name.
I worked hard, and by my mid-20s I was running my own advertising agency in Winchester, with a roster of clients that included Esso and British Airways. I was also a single parent, raising my daughter Celeste who is now 44.

Then, through a series of extraordinary coincidences, I met the renowned British spiritualist Doris Stokes in 1982, who gave me a private reading.
She informed me that I would give up my business and work as a medium – a term I barely understood at the time, even though I was speaking to one. I’ll confess, even with my own suppressed gifts, I was a tad cynical.
But, little did I know, she would be proved completely right – and not just about my changing career. For Doris made a number of remarkably accurate predictions about my life – including the name of my future wife, Jane, and the date we would meet, March 6.
On March 6, 1987 – a date I had all but forgotten until then – Jane Willis was in the spiritualist church in which I was giving a demonstration of my then burgeoning gifts. Doris had told me my wife’s name would be Jane Wallace which, it turned out, was the surname of her grandmother.
I was tasked by the aforementioned Ethel Wallace to pass on a message from beyond to her granddaughter – the start of which was, literally, a match made in Heaven.
Doris had also told me that Jane was a medium, and our coming together marked a turning point for both of us. Together, we decided I would stop working in advertising and dedicate myself to becoming a medium full time.
Once I fully embraced my gift, events moved quickly. It’s no exaggeration to say I was overwhelmed with what I could do, and I have been on an extraordinary journey ever since, both metaphorically and physically.
One such journey was in 2010 to Chennai in southern India, where I consulted an ancient oracle: a book in which the history of every person who visits is written.
Craig was told by an oracle that he would move towards predicting the future in a wider global sense
I know how crazy this looks written down. All I can tell you is that it was a mind-blowing experience. Between its ancient pages was written everything from my mother’s nickname to my ex-wife’s – information to which no-one could have been privy at the time.
That same oracle told me that I would move towards predicting the future in a wider global sense. It was a suggestion that blew my mind at the time, as it was far from what I believed I wanted to do.
But it triggered something in me and my explorations took me into the realms of Nadi astrology, a form of prediction with roots in ancient India. One of my very first predictions was in 2015, when I declared that Russia and China would come to form an alliance in the coming years. That observation has been born out today by their deepened cooperation and strategic alignment.
Over the next few years I accurately forecast everything from Brexit to the pandemic – which I foresaw as a kind of terrifying global flu – to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
How do I know? Many people have asked how I experience these predictions, and the honest answer is, it varies. Sometimes it just comes to me in a flash, or in a dream. On other occasions meditation opens a channel to a vision.
It is, to use a phrase from the Bible, like looking through a glass darkly: you see glimpses of things, and I don’t always get them right. That’s because, contrary to what many people believe, the future isn’t completely ‘set’. What I see is like a view of a map, but those walking over its surface may choose different paths.
Funnily enough, people tend to remember what I got right, not what I got wrong, although I must say I do get far more of the former than the latter.
Recently though, while I foresaw the resignation of the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, I failed to identify the name of his successor Mark Carney, predicting instead that opposition leader Pierre Poilievre would replace him.
I do, though, feel confident about my visions for the future set out here, although I must beg forgiveness if they do not fill everyone with joy. The fact is that yet more torrid times lie ahead for us all, and certainly our politicians. As I set out above, the political map of the UK is set to be redrawn in the coming months – a redrawing that is already taking place after this week’s local elections.
Within less than four months we will have a new prime minister in place as Sir Keir, newly mired in scandal, is forced to step down.
There will likely be a new Conservative party leader too. I sense a split within the Tories, with many big names defecting to a surging Reform. In this, already, my predictions have proved valid. Just this week, I foresaw triumphs for Nigel Farage’s party in the unfolding local elections – with Reform yesterday making enormous gains and winning the Runcorn and Helsby by-election.

There will be drama in the US too. Two days before President Trump was shot at while playing golf in Florida last September, I warned my followers on YouTube that his life was under imminent threat. I believe that will be the case again.
I foresee Trump being shot at as he steps out of a car. Yet, he will survive, strengthening his allure as an almost unassailable President.
There are mixed tidings, meanwhile, on the wider geopolitical front. Ukraine will continue to be a tinderbox with an imminent peace deal quickly falling to pieces and clearing the path for a new invasion through neighbouring Belarus. Further crises will also unfold in Taiwan, Iran and Pakistan. Yet, on one thing, our minds can be put at rest: the world will not see a nuclear war for many, many years.
There is turmoil, too, for the Royals. I am pleased to report that King Charles will continue to reign for many years yet, even as he continues to battle ill health. Yet other controversies await. My visions tell me that the King will offer Trump a symbolic Scottish honour which, while not an official peerage, will stir global controversy and unrest among a public who feel he is undeserving.
He will be outlived by his bride, Queen Camilla, who will come into dreadful conflict with his son and heir William after he takes the throne.
This will take some of the focus away from King William V, as he will be known, and his admirable attempts to focus on mental health.
Happily, his wife, Queen Catherine, will be a unifying figure. She will bridge the gap between the monarchy and the public through her empathetic approach and personal experiences. Their marriage will remain strong.

Alas this is not the case for William’s brother, whose relationship will likely end within the next 18 months. Harry – who will be formally stripped of his title along with his estranged wife – will make attempts to return to the UK. Meanwhile Meghan will publish her own tell-all book with the word ‘mother’ in the title. It will not be a success.
Turbulent times are ahead, too, for Prince Andrew. Not only are his days in his grace-and-favour home, Royal Lodge, numbered – if not by Charles, then by William – but he faces fresh allegations from across the Atlantic. I foresee a previously hidden witness, document or lawsuit emerging that reopens public debate and drags him reluctantly back into the global spotlight.
But Andrew is not to be underestimated: behind closed doors, the late Queen’s disgraced second son is compiling a memoir, which he intends to use as leverage.
Of course, I may be wrong. As I explained, the future is not set in stone. We have free will, and the world moves in peculiar ways. Nonetheless, I feel confident in the above, and, should this article be brandished under my nose in a few years, I will have good reason to feel vindicated.
While I never say for certain if my predictions will come true, I imagine that fans of the BBC series Traitors may be interested in this one. I’ve never watched the competition, but I have a strong sense that Sir Stephen Fry will win the forthcoming celebrity form of the show, with Clare Balding coming second. If he does – then remember, you read it here first.
