Stand and Deliver: Speech Lessons for Truss

Speeches can make or break a politician – so, Liz Truss looks like she’s in trouble. What can she do to improve? Jacob Jarvis is joined by Dr. Henriette van der Blom, the founding director of the Network for Oratory and Politics at the University of Birmingham to discuss the art of political speeches and “deliver, deliver, deliver” some advice to the new PM. “Truss’s inaugural speech was by far her worst.” “Truss’s speeches have developed, but they haven’t become better.” “Truss is appropriating Thatcher's image but the public will only believe her if she is seen as genuine.” Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Tickets to Doomsday Watch Live: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/etmejHAuba Written and presented by Jacob Jarvis.
