Decent MPs - who do you rate?

Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott and yes, I think Starmer as an MP is OK. Not so sure he's leadership quality. I used to approve of Ian Lavery, but have heard of too much financial dishonesty about him locally.

My own MP is genuine enough and votes for the right things but I can't imagine him as a leader at Westminster but being SNP, chief whip, he probably wouldn't want to.

I’ve actually written to Andrew Mitchell and David Davis recently to thank them for things they’ve said about foreign aid and state schools. I did have to lie down in a dark room to recover afterwards though. And, of course, Dawn Butler is hero of the day/week/month/year in my book at the moment.

Jess Phillips has my vote.

Yvette Cooper absolutely. Keith Starmer and bring back Andy Burnham. Jess Philips is good too. No one on the Tory benches I’m afraid.

Keir Starmer!

I like Jeremy Corbyn. I also like Richard Burgon, Dawn Butler and, with some reservations, Lisa Nandy.

????? fannycornforth ..... politicians that you have time for, you are funny !!

Soroptimum

Absolutely Jess Phillips. She is brilliant, and a champion against domestic violence. I follow her on Twitter.

I agree. Jess is brilliant. I also follow her on Twitter.

My MP Peter Kylie is an excellent constituent MP. He replies to every email within hours and is always on top of his brief. Hard working and reliable.

Grany That's my list too. Not Jess Phillips.

Not my MP but I really like Lisa Nandy. On the other side, also not my MP, I like Sajid Javid. I would vote for either of these.

It seems there are a good number of constituency MPs who know what they in Parliament for and do a good job. These stalwarts are let down by the antics of the few we hear about most often at the moment. I'm thinking people who've already been mentioned plus Ed Milliband, Jonathan Ashworth, Diane Abbot, Jeremy Hunt.

The present cabinet and hangers on seem to be doing their best to prove the old adage that all power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Sorry that was a bit muddled. The second sentence and the third should be transposed to make sense...

Just heard that Jess Phillips will be on the radio on the Jeremy Vine show today as she has written a book about politics.

I believe MPs can't call another MP a liar (in the House) they have to use phrases such as 'being economical with the truth'. Bizarre!

The old guard have been booted upstairsi.e. Ken Clarke, Haseltine, John Major. There isn't one at the moment I would support.

I have a lot of respect for Andrew Gwynne, who is one of the MPs in Greater Manchester. He is interested in a cause close to my heart and always comes across as honest, caring and hard working. I wish I could say the same for my own smug self serving MP.

I think Keir Starmer seems intelligent,sensible,calm and definitely a relief from the idiocy of Boris Johnson.

Nicola Sturgeon - very intelligent, has the answers straight off the cuff as she's really on top of her game. She also genuinely cares about Scotland.

Dawn Butlar - not afraid to challenge the rules when they need to be challenged, and very forthright, no mistaking her meaning when she speaks.

Mhairi Black - another who knows her job, cares for her country and doesn't pull her punches.

Patrick Harvie who shares a lot of my convictions, and is just a thoroughly decent guy.

As I think GN is getting far too political, I refuse to comment.

I still see Ed Davey as an honest politician, met him a few times when I lived in Kingston. Agree re Jess Phillips, hope she stays the course.

Monnie Grabbin is a strong and popular force in parliament.

At this moment disenchanted with all of them having read that they are being granted an above inflation raise yet again. How can they possibly justify it?

It's the women who are leading the way in honesty and integrity. I really rate Zarah Sultana - I so wish she were party leader - along with Dawn Butler and Caroline Lucas of course.
