David Lammy MP and Minister for Skills gives a wide ranging speech at De Montfort University in Leicester as part of their 2008 Distinguished Lecture Series. In the speech he talks passionately about his politics and the need to reconnect with the communities politicians represent - breaking open the new political class.




Some selected comments from people who listened to the speech.

Very passionate and genuine speech - learnt a lot from it.

I somehow wish all politicians had the same convictions - inspiring.

David spoke very eloquently and his laudable ambitions for politics in this country are very uplifting.

David Lammy sounded like the most down-to-earth, friendly MP that I have ever heard.
