Yeah I agree she's sharp minded, but for me the sharp bit is too often pointing in entirely the wrong direction. In fact that might be what galls me the most about her - that she's obviously smart but remains entirely unflexible and 'principled' when faced with contradicting evidence.
I didn’t mind Portillo, actually. Thought he had a fair bit of weirdly gawky panache.
Mellor was awful, as was Michael Howard. And Archer is probably themost unanimously hated? But for me, Widdiecombe takes some beating.
Of the current lot, I find Loughton & Balls hard to stomach.
Edit -...
