My Take
Lindsay Hoyle has one of the most thankless jobs in British public life, and I find it oddly admirable. As Speaker of the House of Commons since 2019, he is the referee in that famously rowdy chamber, the one calling Order and somehow keeping a fractious Parliament functioning. The role demands strict neutrality, so on taking it he had to step away from the Labour Party he had represented for Chorley since 1997. He was knighted in 2018. It is a job defined by restraint rather than glory, and there is something quietly heroic about choosing to manage other people's chaos for a living.
