Damian Green's Speech at the Conservative Party Conferance

Damian Green MP's speech at the Conservative Party conferance. A substantial focus of his speech was on disabled people. 

One interesting fact about Damian Green according to Wikipedia: - Green was arrested by the Metropolitan Police at his constituency home on 27 November 2008 on suspicion of "aiding and abetting misconduct in public office" and "conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office". The documents were reported to include information politically embarrassing to the then-Labour Government.  He was later released on bail. In a statement to Parliament on 3 December, Michael Martin, Speaker of the House of Commons, responsible for the security of the Palace of Westminster, stated that although the police undertaking the search had neither presented a search warrant nor given "the requisite advice that such a warrant was necessary", the search of the Parliamentary office had been undertaken with the express written consent of the Sergeant at Arms, who had signed a consent form without consulting the Clerk of the House.

The arrest led to speculation about the apparent coincidence that it was authorised on the last day in office of Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair. It was criticised by political figures and journalists. Green is reported by Andrew Marr to have believed he was the subject of a bugging operation, which would have required the authorisation of the Home Secretary, who stated that she had not granted any such order. Green's constituency agent subsequently confirmed that a search of Green's property and car had been commissioned, but that no listening devices were discovered.

A junior Home Office civil servant, Christopher Galley subsequently admitted leaking four "embarrassing" documents to Green and was sacked.

On 16 April 2009, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that it was not going to bring a case against either Green or Galley, the Home Office civil servant who passed data to Green, as there was "insufficient evidence".

While Conservative Conference goers focus on the plight of those on welfare this week, this is the promotional video of the hotel where Boris Johnson and David Cameron allegedly mended their relationship post BREXIT dust-up. The King David Hotel in Jerusalem: 

They were among hundreds of world leaders gathering for legendary Israeli statesman Shimon Peres’s funeral the following day.

Back to earth, Damian Green MP's speech. Excuse us if we watch the other video:
