He used to lead the party and he was praised for the way in which he delivered his party conference speech without notes and without the need for hiding behind a microphone. Heseltine said, He is right at the top of his brief.
Well, how times change! Billy the Beer gave something akin to a speech this morning to the Tory Party conference and not only did he read it from his notes but he stood behind a microphone and was politely applauded for little more than 15 seconds or so when he had finished.
Why such a paucity? The answer is, the content: it was rubbish. He misled his party and made little sense, especially considering that in a year or so he might be our foreign secretary. What a frightening thought.
It can only get ... worse. The shadow chancellor speaks tomorrow!
I thought Boris Johnson's speech was enjoyable but focused in a micro political way on London matters.
I only watched those to fill in the time between a full plate of food and an empty plate!
