I have to second that. Despite his politics being way to the left of
mine, I have to admire him; he has that rarest of virtues to be found in
a politician, he has absolute integrity. Not only does he speak as he
believes, he also acts according to his beliefs. AFAIK he has never
taken a backhander, freebie or other inducement to vote contrary to his
own conscience; he also has the lowest expenses record of any MP.

And AFAIK, honesty. He turns up at the house every day to do his shift.
Just like he did when he worked down t' pit.
