I know it might not be to everyone's taste, but I think it shows that politicians are actually human and not a bunch of public school slimeballs (like Gove).

I used to dislike Tom Watson when he was a whip for pushing the party line. Recently he has has really shown his true colours. In the fact of reactionary politic he has stuck his neck out a number of times for what he believes in.
