Lembit Opik

Lembit Opik has been a professional speech coach for 35 years, but he's never seen a gaffe as bad as Sir Keir’s use of the word "sausages" to mean hostages. But he's Winston Churchill compared to Ed Miliband, says Lembit.

According to former Lib Dem MP Lembit Öpik, Ed Davey's Mr. Bean routine – falling off paddleboards and clowning around at Thorpe Park – is doing the party no favours. Time to get serious.
