who has impressed you with their honesty, integrity, empathy, served and listened to their constituents and impressed you with how they behave and deserve your respect. I’m sick of hearing of all the corruption, tax dodging, the Covid , Post office, Blood transfusions, Local councils in huge debts , Water companies not delivering,and all the time no one is accountable or jailed whilst still earning huge salaries with golden pensions rant over.

The BBC should promote an annual British Rant Championship.

The lack of replies speaks volumes.

Things often seem "rosier" years ago ?
Politics was definitely more polite and seemingly sincere, but the media definitely "buried" certain exploits of several infamous politicians.
A former senior Labour politician who I admired, was Shirley Williams. Unfortunately she later defected from the Labour Party...

That’s because it’s obvious whoever you name you get slaughtered.

My local MP Jim Dickson ticks all those boxes.

Others I like for various reasons off top of head:
Labour - Starmer , Streeting, Jess Phillips, Yvette Cooper, Stephen Kinnock, Phillipson, Dodds, Lisa Nandy,Kendall, Clive Lewis, Chris Bryant.
Tories - Tugendhat, Jeremy Hunt, Kearns
Libs - Ed Davey, Daisy Cooper, another lass but forgotten her name.
Greens - Can’t name them, all seem decent including Zach Polanski.
Corbyn.
 
Charles Walker, Ed Davey, Chris Bryant, Mhairi Black. Just a smattering but could name others and agree with many already highlighted. Alas, the system in which good individuals work is conducive to toadyism, and our focus is then drawn to the inept and corrupt.

For once can’t you just dislike someone or something?
