In a year of villains, let's celebrate the decent men and women of UK politics in 2020. Whom have you admired?
I'll start with one nomination: Andy Burnham
Dominic Minghella Andy Burnham Love these suggestions, would also like to add Lawrence Gilder and @gordonrlove1 for their sterling work on number crunching all the covid data. And Prof Nisreen Alwan π» for championing the cause of long covid.

I have to mention
James Neill ξ¨ β π Jim Parkinπ― #BlackLivesMatter @beandiagram
For making tackling misinformation feel less lonely & forlorn
Prof. Devi Sridhar for bringing such clarity to TV discussions of Covid & Prof. Christina Pagel for having developed so much along those lines
David King for setting up iSage

This is what the last 5 years look like using ONS data:
About 7 times worse than the previous.
