My Take
Amber Rudd strikes me as one of the more formidable figures of recent British politics. With a path running through investment banking, journalism, and Edinburgh before Parliament, she brought a worldly toughness to high office, serving as Home Secretary and then Work and Pensions Secretary through the turbulence of the Brexit years. What I respect is her refusal to simply follow the crowd, and the clean decisiveness of stepping down from Parliament in 2019 rather than clinging on. Whatever one makes of her politics, she came across as a serious, independent-minded operator, and that earns my attention.
