Im horrified anyone could say "Parliament could use a few more like him". He's an self serving ego-maniac. Where was he when Parliament was debating and voting on an issue directly relating to his constituency? He was in the big brother house dancing about in lycra outfits, and crawling around on the floor pretending to be a pussy cat. Also his ass-kissing to Saddam pre-war was very cringeworthy.

As much as I dislike him though, his hearing was brilliant to watch. He is a great orator and years of debate in the British Parliament will only sharpen those skills, and coming up against a Senator used to the US congress, there was only going to be one winner. Also I was and remain against the Iraq war, so find myself in the unusual position of agreeing with his points.
