Those who read my recent political blogs will likely detect a note of often scathing wariness when it comes to applauding the merits of the MPs who sit in the Westminster Parliament when addressing issues that I care about, although I suspect many MPs, including my own, do a good deal of good for their constituents. Despite my disappointment when it comes to MPs failing to deliver on what truly matters, over the years there have been those I have admired, regardless of political affiliation and even when far from being in full agreement. All have been their own men and men of integrity and principle. I present my top six, with reasons why I rate them highly.
