Please don‘t let Rory Stewart be the best prime minister we never had!

[@Sam-jy5tj]

Reading this 2 years later and it’s never been truer.

[@dianawhite943]

I do my best to bring his name to the fore, when I tweet or similar. Usually falls on deaf ears, but you never know, a tiny mustard seed might take root and spread!

[@sookibeulah9331]

I’m fascinated that two people gave this a 👎. I wonder if they are so doctrinal about their thinking on Brexit that they cannot appreciate his knowledge, experience and considered opinion on the two other complex subjects he raises?

[@sookibeulah9331]

It’s highly impressive that someone can speak for 35 minutes and interweave three extremely complex subjects so deftly without any written notes yet alone a written speech. Rory Stewart really knows his stuff and obviously thinks extensively about all of it. It’s a tragedy for Britain, Afghanistan and many other countries he didn’t win the Conservative Party leadership election and was then kicked out of his party forcing him to leave politics. I hope he finds a route back in.

It's such a shame that one of Britain's best was betrayed by his party.

[@GingerDrums]

The fact that his party and the public overlooked this man tells much about the state of Great Britain in the 21st Century: Sleepwaking to slogan mediocrity rather than cherishing insight and realpolitik.
