Tory MP sorry after novelty tie breaks into speech
A Conservative MP has apologised after inadvertently turning on his musical tie while making a speech in the House of Commons.
Nadhim Zahawi's red tie—worn as part of an anti-cancer campaign—started playing a tinny tune during a debate on education funding. Deputy Speaker Dawn Primarolo urged him to be "more selective" in future in his choice of ties.
The Stratford on Avon MP was was speaking in a Labour-led debate on the future of the Educational Maintenance Allowance in England when a tune rang out for about 20 seconds. As colleagues and opponents looked around the chamber for the source, Mr Zahawi realised what had happened and switched off his tie. [BBC]
And what an excellent tune it is:
