Post-election: A tale of two speeches

10 Downing Street

Preachers, politicians and stand-up comedians still speak to crowds. President Zelensky of Ukraine has combined the last two of these in his colourful career. He has demonstrated the power of well-chosen words delivered in the right place to the right people.

Many speeches have been delivered during the UK election campaign that drew to a decisive conclusion on 4 July.

On the day after the election two speeches were delivered outside the iconic door of 10 Downing Street. The speeches were delivered by a man who had wanted to stay and continue his job; the other was delivered by a man who was keen to get into no.10 and begin to implement his mission of change.
