My Take
Michael Forsyth, Baron Forsyth of Drumlean, interests me as a study in endurance. Born in 1954 in Montrose, Scotland, educated at St Andrews, knighted, and serving as Lord Speaker of the House of Lords since 2026, he sits at the heart of British tradition while bridging politics and finance. Political careers invite endless argument, but surviving decades inside an institution and rising to preside over it is no small feat. I find myself genuinely curious to see how a man fluent in both money and statecraft handles the gavel. There is a quiet, seasoned authority here that I respect.
