prattle

In my view, he has managed to pull away from the prattle offered to him.

À mon avis, il a su dévier du texte de radotage qu'on lui offrait.

It would be just as useful, and less ridiculous, to prattle about our principles to the billows of the sea.

Mais pour le gouvernement actuel, cela serait aussi impossible.

The member and his colleagues can prattle on about what they think happened yesterday, but I am here to tell them what happened yesterday.

Le député et ses collègues peuvent imaginer ce qu'ils veulent à propos de ce qui s'est passé hier, mais moi je sais ce qui s'est passé.
