What's supposed to be interesting about that? He's certainly not a particularly good public speaker, with several nonsensical sentences and annoying things like unnecessary 'thee's and 'ay's (every radio speaker, ever), plus various other things he should work on. He's obviously not helped by whatever obscure context there was to this pathetic-seeming occasion in a near-empty chamber. Admittedly, I didn't make it very far in, as he didn't hold my attention, so perhaps he saved the best for last.

Well, if you're into hedgehogs its pretty comprehensive.
I've worked with a few ministers and people in government. The most important skill they need is being able to take a subject they know little or nothing about, absorb a briefing quickly and then ask the right questions to the officials that know the detail.
He probably crammed that whole speech in an evening. It might not have been word perfect, but I couldn't have done it.
The more I've seen Rory Stewart, the more impressed I've been. This LBC interview is the only time I've nodded along to someone advocating a soft brexit deal. I can see his point. I think he could be right. I certainly agree that a second referendum and remaining probably opens the door to the Farage Party even wider. I also agree that Europe will just roll their eyes when we come back to the table, much clout lost.

The biggest issue with him is that he's still a Tory - and therefore must be a cunt, which is hard to reconcile when he seems to have his head screwed on in other ways. Anyway, it matters not as it appears he's not got a hope in the leadership elections.

Have we had this? I know he's just showing off, but the guy can talk.
