The prime minister's former chief of staff, now Lady Gray of Tottenham, was forced out after a vicious briefing campaign against her by colleagues and gave her maiden speech in the House of Lords yesterday.

In his maiden speech as finance minister he famously quoted Victor Hugo, saying that "no power on Earth can stop an idea whose time has come".

In her maiden speech in the House of Commons in 2010, she vowed to fight for "jobs, growth and prosperity" - likely centrepieces of Labour's first Budget in nearly 15 years, on 30 October.

"Stop the violence. Step back from the brink," the prime minister said in his maiden speech to the UN General Assembly, despite Israeli ministers’ rejection of an international proposal for a temporary pause in fighting.

In his maiden speech, 100 days after taking office, David Lammy said the climate issue, along with a decline in nature, would be "central to all the Foreign Office does".
