Agree on first two. Not that familiar with the two other ones.

David Gauke.
Former PMs: Gordon Brown, maybe, though he was a disastrous PM.

Trying to nominate at least one each.
And blast from the past: Paddy Ashdown on Iraq (winning the peace) was good.

Blair is, strangely, underrated

Gordon Brown overrated

Blair was good under the old regime at TBI, less so now

Brown, Gaulke, John Reid, Ashdown

For former PMs Brown and Major are well above average.

Thinking about it, May and Cameron also.

Even Blair, Boris and Sunak are significantly above the mean.

Politics Liz, who lives in cave & tweets made stufc over 10,000 each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
