Sir Graham Brady is voted as the Backbencher of the year by Conservative Home Blog.

Editor Paul Goodman writes: 'Graham Brady has established himself this year, by projecting a dissenting position from the Government on Covid strategy, almost as a kind of leader of the internal opposition – an usual position for the Chairman of the 1922 Executive Committee to find himself in.

So it is perhaps unsurprising that Brady, who is also a bit of a spokesman both for constitutional and party norms and niceties, has topped this section of the poll, with Dehenna Davison coming a very creditable second among the named options.'
