The best ones I ever heard were when I was young. I remember as a teen in the 60s watching Jeremy Thorpe (obviously before all the scandal) rousing onlookers and tons of hecklers where I lived. Similar with Sir Gerald Nabarro (Jimmy Edwards the posh version) - was interesting to me how people reacted to them. Heckling was common then.

Post 1980, can't think of any that stand out. They've all become so f disingenuous.

Hang on, no. This speech 3 days ago.

One of my favourite wind up speeches. Hague just having a ball: highlight here. David Milliband pissing himself.

Brilliant. Puts our current crop (on both sides) into perspective...

Trouble I can't see them getting any better
