There's a bit of excitement in the air.
And reading from a prepared text,
For several minutes, he speaks solemnly, gravely about the stabbing of the Jewish person at Golders Green and the evils of antisemitism.
Now, I don't think there was anyone in the house that disagreed with the word that he said, right?
The sentiments were absolutely correct, but you could just feel the energy draining out of the chamber.
You could just, you could feel it being flattened.
And then having got that
those remarks off his chest, he then tried to rev things up and counterattack against the opposition, which of course he couldn't do because everyone was as flat as a tack.
And all I could think to myself was, this is a speech that's been written.
He's reading.
Truthfully, the prime minister should not read a speech like that.
He should be able to speak extempore.
But he's reading that.
So somebody has thought that's a good idea.
Now, you tell me, Alastair, you've written speeches for prime ministers.

And it's, I mean, it's a tough thing to say.
Honestly, I don't know what the numbers are.
