My Take
Crispin Blunt strikes me as the kind of long-haul politician we undervalue. Born in Germany, Durham-educated, he held Reigate for nearly three decades, from 1997 to 2024, which says plenty about the trust he built locally. The roles that catch my eye are the quieter ones: prisons and youth justice minister, then chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. Those are unglamorous, machinery-of-state jobs that demand patience over flash. I tend to respect figures who shape policy from inside committees rather than chasing the spotlight, and Blunt reads to me as exactly that sort of durable institutional craftsman.
