British Politics: debate in the HoC
Just found this video on the toob. It's a collection of funny moments in House of Commons debates.
Dont know why it suddenly breaks into music about 7 minutes in. It goes on for a few seconds then back to the debates.
If you dont want to plough through the whole thing (it jumps about chronologically across about 15 years or so) at the very least watch William Hague's speech beginning at 8:04.
It is one of the best and funniest speeches I have ever heard in the House. It takes place whilst Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, and Tony Blair was being touted as a hypothetical President of Europe. There was very little love lost between Blair and Brown by this point.
