My Take
Nadhim Zahawi fascinates me for the sheer arc of his life. Born in Baghdad, he rebuilt himself in Britain, studied at University College London, made his name as an entrepreneur, and rose to ministerial office under multiple prime ministers. Politics is rarely kind in its verdicts, and his tenure had its controversies, but the underlying story of a migrant reaching the heart of another nation's government commands genuine respect. That demands nerve and adaptability in equal measure. Whatever one makes of his politics, I read him as a Gemini operator who navigated turbulent waters with considerable agility.
