My Take
Hammond is the kind of politician I find genuinely valuable precisely because he isn't flashy. An Oxford-educated Brit from Epping, he held practically every senior brief, Transport, Defence, Foreign Secretary, and finally Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2016 to 2019. He always struck me as a numbers-and-ledgers man rather than a showman, and steady, unglamorous hands like his are what actually keep a state functioning. Holding the purse strings through the turbulence of Brexit must have been brutally stressful work. Now a life peer in the Lords, he carries the weight of someone who chose competence over theatrics, and I respect that.
