My Take
Esther McVey interests me for the sheer arc of her career. A Liverpudlian who started in television presenting before plunging into politics and climbing to cabinet level in the Conservative Party is no small feat of nerve. The portfolios she held, employment and pensions, are unglamorous but bite directly into ordinary lives, which I respect. Add businessperson and producer to the résumé and you get someone who refuses to sit inside a single label. She has spent her career in the thick of controversy, and whatever one makes of her politics, I tend to prefer people who say plainly what they think.
