Which politicians do you rate, regardless of party?

[BananaBeforeBed]

In these troubled times it’s hard to like an entire party.

I would like a government with the following cabinet members:

Jess Phillips
Tom Watson
Phillip Hammond
Jo Swinson
Ken Clarke
Michael Heseltine
Rory Stewart
Ian Blackford .

Anyone want to add some names to my list?

John Mann, Labour.

None of them. All lying idiots, in it for their own agendas.

Yvette Cooper

Caroline Lucas
Nicola Sturgeon
Kier Starmer
Yvette Cooper
Dominic Grieve
Justine Greening
Sarah Wollaston

Oh yes, Keir Starmer

Vicky Foxcroft.

Ruth Davidson
Jess Phillips
Mhari Black

Kier Starmer.

John Mann is incredibly dishonest, really nasty piece of work. I have had the misfortune to come into contact with him a few times.

Dominic Grieve impressed me. For saying "I have no information so can't possibly comment about that!" (BJ's row with girlfriend that police were called to attend).

Ken Clarke for having a good sense of humour in spite of the whole mess.

John Major for still striving against the bastards.

I respect Rory Stewart, Wollaston, Emily Thornbury, Stephen Kinnock, most the LibDems, Ruth Davidson, Caroline Lucas and others. I disagree with Nicki Morgan's politics but admire her for rolling sleeves up.

I think your list is a good one OP and agree with most the others mentioned here too, would add in Hilary Benn

John Major just sounds so statesmanlike these days, more than I ever remember.

Yvette Cooper

John Major just sounds so statesmanlike these days, more than I ever remember.

To me pretty much everyone from the past sounds good these days - would be happy to have any of Major, Brown, Blair back (and never thought I'd say that!) Even William Hague or Nick Clegg seem like a dream come true compared to Bojo/Corbyn

Another vote for Ken Clarke. My friend, a staunch Labour supporter, worked in the Houses of Parliament and has a huge amount of respect for him. She said he often went out of his way to talk to and help her out. She was less effusive about many of the Labour MPs she came across.

I agree with your list. I’d add David Lammy, he’s intelligent, articulate and clearly actually cares about his constituents.
Also Vince Cable and Ed Davey.

Quite a few actually, from most parties. But my special mention goes to Norman Lamb (Lib Dems) who has championed the cause of good mental health since before it was a popular one.

I agree with these, except John Mann. I would add Anna Soubry.

Generally, though, I think we have a dire lack of statesmen/women in the house these days. The only ones I can think of wouldn’t run for office these days, like Ken Clark and Hezza. I’m not even a Tory, but rate those two.

Ken Clarke, Hilary Benn, Ruth Davidson, Rory Stewart

Hilary Benn
David Lammy
I met Ed Davy and Jo Swinson not long ago, they were both nice but he was much friendlier.
Rory Stewart
John Major

Agreed with pretty much all of the above and would add Stella Creasy.

Vicky Foxcroft, yes! decent, hard working and principled.

Ken Clarke, Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rory Stewart, William Hague

Great echo chamber

Bar Rory, every single one mentioned is dire.

Do carry on though.

This is depressing.
Did nobody read Ed Davey's web chat on here?
Read the Libdem's policies?
Listened to Caroline Lucas?
I wouldn't vote for anyone who "seemed nice".

Joan McAlpine MSP for her staunch and steadfast defence of women's rights.
