- Shirley Williams- sanctimonious, hypocritical and destructive.
- Denis Macshane- Hyper partisan and a compulsive liar.
- David Mellor- Useless, incompetent, arrogant and hypocritical.
- Edwina Currie- John Major has my sympathy.
- John Bercow- Horrible little man, models himself on Mr Toad.
- Harriet Harman- Don't worry Hattie women won't be underrepresented on this list thanks to you.
- Alan Clarke- No he wasn't a "character" or a "wit" he was a boorish, insecure charlatan with an mystifying level of belief in his own abilities.
- Mo Mowlam- Despite carefully cultivating a "people's politician" image she was just another politician with a deluded sense of her own importance.
- Nye Bevan- To me he sounds like "Kinnock Mk 1" rather than an inspirational figure. His voice grates.
- Lembit Opik- A very cheeky boy.

The Ten Most Irritating Politicians Since The War
I missed Rod Liddle's poll to find the most irritating politicians since the war so he is my list. Obviously there is a strong bias towards politicians whom I am old enough to actually remember with only Bevan and Williams being from before the 1980s. I don't suppose being irritating makes someone bad at their job, I suspect I would have found Gladstone insuuferable had I been alive in the 19th Century but he was still a great figure. None of these people are though:

I forgot Peter Hain and Gerald Kaufman.
& Jeffrey Archer, Cecil Parkinson, Glenys Kinnock and Alex Salmond.
The Baron Faulks and Margaret Thatcher
You can't put Mrs V Bottomley on there! She was top totty in her day!
It's a daft list though, it'd be far quicker to do a list of politicians who aren't totally irritating.
Virginia Bottomley, totty!?
Bugger- I can see why some people find Thatcher irritating. As for Foulkes I had to look him up but he seems like a worthy nominee.
Ted Heath deserves a (dis)honourable mention
John St. John Stievas - really oily pretend upper class Tory and constitutional expert. What about the invisible useless like my own MP David Crausby - those so feeble we end up with ministers like Mellor and Squirrel Nutkin?
