Liam Byrne

Liam Byrne strikes me as a genuinely multidimensional figure. A Harvard-educated Fulbright scholar who rose into Gordon Brown's Cabinet is impressive enough, but what really holds my interest is that he works as a politician, businessperson, and writer all at once. Someone who knows the practical realities of business tends to argue policy with more credibility than a pure theorist. Holding a Birmingham seat continuously since 2004 also signals real staying power. I have a lot of time for political figures who can think across disciplines and put their ideas into words, and Byrne clearly belongs in that category.
