Not sure about in the US but firstly this is totally unusual as a speech given by a politician, referencing religion at all. Also it's extremely unusual it is so eloquent. But mostly the succinctness of damning a society and system (including the Church of England) that has started worshipping secular liberalism, migration and fetishizing islam.

...whilst being delivered to an empty chamber.

This is the case EVERYTIME something of note is saidβ¦ no one cares, theyβre all in the bogs sniffing Charlie.
My understanding is that for adjournment debates in the UK itβs not normal for the chamber to be largely empty? Perhaps Iβm wrong? This type of speech is really common coming from evangelicals in the US tbh though so maybe thatβs why itβs not hitting me as anything other than normal Protestant talking points kinda π€·πΌββοΈ
Sorry typo, not *abnormal* I thought they were normally empty chambers for those?
Really no one speaks like this in UK politics, everyone is a Tony Blair clone
We have the opposite issue here where thereβs too much evangelicalism going on I fear. Like 90% of Congress is Christian and thereβs a lot of evangelicals like Mike Johnson types who will do speeches like this one in the US. Typically not to an empty room but we donβt have adjournment debates but it can happen if someone is like late night filibustering
I guess Iβm just completely desensitized to political sermons because theyβre so normal here. Used to hearing them my whole life!!
