Humza Yusaf's resignation speech

Yikes! What a speech. Well modulated, erudite. And yet …
Another racist speech by Humza. ‘People like me’ and if I was to say “people like you” I would be accused of racism. Keen on his family now … don’t suppose he ever had an affair?
😁

I am not remotely interested in his politics or his handling of them.

I was just commenting on hearing a well crafted, well delivered speech from a politician. Once upon a time each of the parties had MPs, whose oratory would bring other MPs to the chanber to listen to them. Churchill is the obvious one, but nowadays, I cannot think of one politician who is a good speaker and a pleasure to listen to. Certainly not Sunak or Starmer.

I haven’t heard it as yet, but think that actual words matter way more than how a person says it.

He’s resigned and did the right thing. I can fully understand how he is in a difficult place with family. People will remember how he explained his reasons and his dignified speech. He went up in my estimation.

It reminded me of Johnson in some ways, particularly in his complete lack of awareness of his role in the divisive state of political and cultural debate.
