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. From Billinge to the laboratory to the near-summit of government is an unusually varied arc, and the Scorpio intensity seems to run through all of it. I respect people who refuse to fit a single label, and Coffey clearly does not.
