want to pay particular tribute to the members for warrington north, ilford north and birmingham hodge hill moving and passionate speeches. their constituencies are lucky to have them as advocates for their concerns and needs. perhaps the bravest and finest speech from the opposition benches was given by the member for barrow—in—furness. it takes courage and he has it, having been elected ona labour and he has it, having been elected on a labour mandate, representing working—class people, to say that the leader of the party that you joined as a boy is not fit to be prime minister. he speaks the truth! he speaks for the country. and that takes me to the speech from the shadow secretary of state. he spoke well. but i felt he did not rise to the level of events but one thing that was characteristic about his speech, he did not once mention in his speech the leader of the opposition. 0r his speech the leader of the opposition. or why he should be prime minister. now... i have a lot of time for the honourable member, we have several things in common. he has lost weight... we have both lost weigh
