The Daily Telegraph's Andrew Gimson selects his five best and worst MPs today - "an arbitrary and presumptuous exercise" - but good fun nonetheless.
No Welsh MPs make his best five, but they punch well above their weight in the worst five, taking three of the plum places.
He writes:
Sycophancy is one of the characteristic faults of the Commons. In this respect, Chris Bryant (Lab, Rhondda) and Sion Simon (Lab, Birmingham Erdington) have been outstanding. Mr Simon's recent involvement in the failed coup attempt against Mr Blair was perhaps an attempt to atone for this outrageous sycophancy, though it might also be seen as an application to Gordon Brown for a job.
He adds:
Alan Williams (Lab, Swansea West) qualifies for the bottom five by being a lamentably supine Father of the House.
