Parliamentarian of the year awards

Nov 03, 2016 07:08

I came here to share George's genuinely funny speech with you!   With jibes at a lot of people - and himself ^^ Enjoy:



If you are interested, here are the winners (and their speeches at the source. Michael Heseltine and his dog were a big theme! Other highlights inlude things like Boris saying "Brexit means Brexit and we will make a titanic success of it."):

Backbencher of the Year - Jess Phillips
Resignation of the Year - Iain Duncan Smith
Campaigner of the Year - John McDonnell
Peer of the Year - Lord Dubs
Speech of the Year - Rachel Reeves
The Joseph Chamberlain award - Sadiq Khan
Comeback of the Year - Boris Johnson
Lifetime Achievement Award - Nigel Farage
Parliamentarian of the Year - Hillary Benn
Politician of the year:  Theresa May

George presented the awards because, in his words, "It's traditional for this award to be presented by the winner of last year's politician of the year award - David Cameron.  Another example of how he has disappeared and left me holding the baby."

Some pictures until better ones appear somewhere

(Theresa wore that outfit in George's "honour". The question, obviously, is: Who wore it better?!)
"There won't be much time for chit chat - a bit like the time Theresa and I last spoke."
