I agree. If Churchill were alive today (and leaving aside that he would be something like 140 years old) he would have a speaking style that was relevant for today. However, given the idiosyncratic style of Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn for that matter, I am not sure his speaking style

I think it is unwise to assume Churchill's speaking style was somehow immutable. Churchill developed a style that was evidently well suited to his own times, and if he had been born a century later, no doubt he would have been capable of developing a style effective in these times. But, yes,

Unfortunately, this is simply a variation on the "What Would Churchill Do?" game that irritated the late Lady Soames so much. And it's a game that can be played in both directions. Personally, I contend that the reason Barack Obama would not have been elected President of the United States in
