The respected ones is Frank Field one? People like that who are in for the good of others. Just curious as to what ye all think.

Dennis Skinner. Doesn't he only take a wage equivalent to the average wage? And I'm not sure if it's the national average or his constituency average

Can only really think of Frank Field adn Dennis Skinner.

TBH i find it very exciting that so many MPs are retiring. The whole House of Commons is stale (all the parties) and a clear out was very much needed.

This is a useful list of how often MPs rebel against their party whip

Clare short - is she still around?

I've always liked Anne Widdecombe on the other side but she is retiring.
