Gyles Brandreth Maiden Speech HoC 12 May 1992

[@johnsurrey7426]

I recommend reading his book Breaking The Code, which is his diary covering his time as an MP. It’s fascinating, and shows exactly what goes on (or doesn’t) in parliament.

Look how young Gyles looked back then when his hair was like this

For brevity (and, okay, probably meanness), you could probably just go with "...when his hair was."

He would have been around 44 years old here.

[@johnsurrey7426]

Close - he was 46.

"Many years ago..."

Giles refers to ''political correctness''...I never realised the term was used as early as 1992.

Teresa rose to a high level.
