I sometimes wonder whether Kinnock would be better suited to politics today than in the 80s. His media advisors tried to squeeze out his warmth, humour, anger & willingness to speak his mind, whereas there's a hunger for those things now. Even the mass rally is back, & he's made for the podcast age.

this high quality gag came from someone who is also here but as he hasn’t posted it himself I assume he doesn’t want to be tagged to share in the glory

He'd have got s chapter out of it but that's what it would have boiled down to.
