Thérèse Coffey

I find Thérèse Coffey fascinating precisely because her path defies the usual political mould. A chemist and former financial analyst, she brought a quantitative, scientific mind into Westminster and then became the first female Deputy Prime Minister in British history under Liz Truss. The tenure was brief, but the milestone is not trivial. I respect people who refuse to fit a single label, and Coffey clearly does not.
