Goodness. Not normally a fan of George Galloway. Far from it, in fact. However, he's just given one of those speeches in the House of Snouts which occasionally makes one sit up - on, unsurprisingly, the Iraq inquiry debate.
If the debate is repeated on BBC Parliament later, try and catch it for Galloway. Really robust performance - as is characteristic of Galloway on this issue.
In addition to his points on Iraq, he was pretty much on the button in expressing that large body of public opinion which holds in contempt the current crop of careerists occupying British political position.
At the very least, we'll try and remember to update this with the Hansard text later.
Fascinating debate... there have been one or two speeches which have been of a very high standard this afternoon. Conservative MP Richard Shepherd impressed again and spoke with his statesman like gravitas.
One of the interesting things is the number of Labour MPs accepting that they may have been told falsehoods about the case for war and the number expressing 'regret' for voting in favour of it.
One wonders if they now accept that they were told falsehoods of the effects of the Constitutional Lisbon Treaty and whether they now regret voting in favour of it?
