Jack's endorsement was never solicited and a surprise, nay shock. Politics is more than being a silver tongue with quick wit, a lexical genius passing off as a compassionate representative.

Maiden speeches are dull and nerve racking in equal measures. Few people listen, fewer people read them in Hansard.

Having listened to speech makers who try to embellish a wide dictionary of words, I conclude it serves little purpose and infuriates at worst. There is a lot to be said of plain English and a trip to Bolsover would not exaggerate that point.
Am I right in thinking that you had to make an appointment with the speaker to make your speech Graham
