A lot of people speak about Benn, saying his father would be ashamed. I, along with everyone else aren't qualified to comment about that, but I think that he may comment on how his son spoke so passionately about this and never speaks as equally passionate on subjects like social justice.
Sadly that speech (not seen it, don't want to, but read 'highlights') will be what he's remembered for, regardless of whatever he does in the future. He may well turn out to be a fine member of the shadow cabinet and possibly future cabinet but that speech will mark him for the rest of his life.
