It shouldnt happen to an MP

The life of an MP is varied and interesting throwing up many different events, some sad, some tragic and some plain hilarious. This isn't a political speech, its a speech about politics. Listen to some of the things that happen to MP's that no one ever sees. More Vicar of Dibley than Yes Minister a side of politics seldom seen, never talked about. An ideal after dinner speech, relaxed, funny and engaging. Always willing to take questions afterwards and suitable for any audience regardless of their political views. Delivered with absolutely no party political bias. The inside story of the life of a backbench MP, devoid of Ministerial restriction but chock full of wit, humour and a little pathos at times.

From GCE meltdown, to tea with the PM

A fascinating tale of how someone from a small Derbyshire village, who crashed and burned his GCE's can, through determination and hard work, become a Member of Parliament and finish up sharing mini eggs in the House of Commons with The Prime Minister. A perfect antidote to the view that all politicians are careerists from the same template background. An ideal speech for young audiences to impress upon them the opportunities that life can give, or non political audiences who will be fascinated on how anyone can become a Member of Parliament with the right work ethic and level of application.
