Improv-ment

After Willie Coffey proved his inability to improvise in a debate last month by attempting to read his concluding speech at the start of a debate, it was good to see not everyone gets such stage fright. Jamie Greene accidentally started reading the wrong question at Topical Questions, but upon realising his mistake, he attempted to style it out. “Pardon me, I am reading out Daniel Johnson’s question. It was very well asked, although it is worth asking again, given that we did not get an answer the first time. However, I will now ask question 2.” It was almost as if the member was making a point about the shoddy response from the government to the initial question.
