My Take
What draws me to John Woodcock is his willingness to be unpopular. Leaving Labour in 2018 after being suspended over a former staffer's complaint about inappropriate messages, which he denied, and sitting as an independent, then accepting a peerage and an advisory role on political violence, he never seems to have chosen the easy seat. He was removed from that post in 2025. I find that kind of stubborn conviction more interesting than career politicians who only follow the wind. Whether you agree with him or not, Woodcock strikes me as someone who treats principle as something you defend out loud, even when it bruises you.
