Conference speech clouds

A.Bailey 4th October 2017

A few speech clouds made using transcripts of Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May’s speeches from the 27th Sepetember and October 4th 2017 respectively.

I removed common words such as “and” as well as thew words “labour”,”conservative”,”tories”, and “tory” to highlight the important works.

Commonality cloud

I used this tutorial to make the clouds.
