You could almost treat the question as a litmus test of whether someone is a good MP.

There are a LOT of pro writers - including me - who would give their time to write speeches for an MP they believed in if, let’s say, that MP’s budget wouldn’t stretch to a speech writer even part time.

Of course, that would require MPs to behave with decency or risk losing their writer. You couldn’t… I don’t know, go on Newsnight and spout crap about refugees and trans people, because then I’d bin your speech.

I can imagine a sketch whereby the writer slips a few last minute changes into the final draft.

Maybe we could replace MPs with an elected AI model in each. constituency? Vote for the desired outcomes and model weights, parameters and hyper parameters. A socialist paradise lies ahead!
