  2. 2 earlier: Jeremy Browne

    The orange book for the party of the chocolate orange—an extraordinary political mismatch.

  3. 3 earlier: Rob Marris

    The orange book.

  1. Have a quick scan of the speech under the video, then press “Play”.
  2. When you hear the start of that speech, press “Now!”.
  3. The timestamped video will then appear on TheyWorkForYou – thanks from everyone who uses the site :)

Some videos will be miles out – if you can't find the right point, don't worry, just try another speech!

  • Sign in if you want to get on the Top Timestampers league table!
  • If the video suddenly jumps a couple of hours, or otherwise appears broken, let us know.
  • If the speech you're looking for is beyond the end of the video, move on to the next video chunk.
  • If you're right at the start of a day, it's quite possible the start of the video will be the end of the previous programme on BBC Parliament, skip ahead some minutes to check :)
  • Hansard is not a verbatim transcript, so spoken words might differ slightly from the printed version. And a small note – if the speech you are looking out for is an oral question (questions asked in the first hour or so of Monday–Thursdays in the Commons), then all the MP will actually say is their question number, e.g. “Number Two”.
  • The skip buttons move in 30 second increments (you can go back before the start point), and you can access a slider by hovering over the video.
