He was once a ship's steward and whenever he stood up in the HOC Nicholas Soames would call out "Mine's a gin and tonic, Giovanni, and would you be kind enough to ask my friend what he's having?"
JP initially wasn't too happy about this but as time went on it made him smile.
He had a sensed of humour.

Or 'surrounded'.

That bloke had a good left jab on him.

Perhaps he should've been known as 'two jabs', rather than 'two jags', after the egging he took.

I like Soames' imperious sense of humour. He once said to Lord Sainsbury "when I want advice from my grocer I'll ask for it!"

When Yvette Cooper was on her feet addressing The House, he used to bellow "speak up, boy!!" across the chamber.

He also got some stick. When someone was discussing a romantic tryst that Soames was supposed to be involved in, he said "being made love to by Nicholas Soames must be like having a wardrobe fall on you with the key in the lock."

Soames was effectively deselected for having the temerity to support remain. Being Churchill's grandson didn't help. He met Mugabe, drove his quad bike without insurance, believed in balanced migration, constructively criticised middle east politics, wasn't cowed by the media or intimidated into following far-rages agenda like so many colleagues. My kind of an independent minded one nation tory. Moving relentlessly to the right won't help the Cons get re elected.
