Notable Obituaries.

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.

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. :ROFLMAO:

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.

I liked Prescott

His missis was well fit as well

Seem to recall that Jarvis cocker (??) deliberately tipped some water over him at some function

Prescott should have smacked him one as well ;)
