Tam Dalyell and Tony Soprano

Zoe Williams gets the 'Simon Hoggart's off at a big lunch so someone else has to write the parliamentary sketch' duty in today's Guardian. Leaving comment on Michael Fabricant's hair to the professionals, she instead comes up with a great description of Tam Dalyell:

Tam Dalyell started doing that irascible shouting that always looks so noble and impassioned in a full house, but in a house containing only 12 people looks like a tramp on the back of a bus, doing an impression of Tony Soprano.
