For the third year the Daily Telegraph is publishing a Top 100 People on the Right list. A few weeks ago I chaired a panel which consisted of three Telegraph journalists, two Tory MPs and three political commentators which drew up the list. Here's the first part, running from 51 to 100. You can read the short biogs HERE on the Telegraph site. The second figure denotes the position last year.

What? No mention of Sir Robin Wales (covert Tory Mayor of newham)?
Maybe he's in the top 50!
John Bercow is now one of our top 100 right wingers - says it all, really.
Anabel Goldie, the scottish tory leader is at 57, exactly the same place as iain Gray the Scottish Labour leader is on the top left wingers.
Alex Salmond is 12 on the Uk left wingers list, I wonder if he will make the right wing list as well?
Peter.
“Mad” Nad Dorries eh? Scraping the barrel somewhat.
Be serious. There's an election to win.
Get your head out.
This is a bizarre list. Lots of fun but absolutely bizarre.
Do the panel get named? They seem to be completely out of touch.
Not sure why the Telegraph are running this. It makes them look like complete outsiders to what is really going on. Normally they would get away with it but 7 months before an election. This is nuts.
Well do enlighten us with your criticisms rather than pant away with generalities.
Where is Harriet Harman and Polly Toynbee?
When did Bercow move from left to right?
Answers on a postcard please.
I am getting better at this. There were only 18 there of whom I had never heard. My political education improves by the day.
I don't know whether to be more surprised that:
(a) Chloe Smith comes above Jon Bercow (Baby of the House preceding the Speaker of the House?!),
or
(b) that Jon Bercow still turns up on lists of Right Wingers at all!
Lord Adonis' inclusion ("more Andrew, than Adonis") will have someone choking on cornflakes, but I can't discern who tht might be...
Kirstie Allsop Ha ha haaaaaaaaa
Silly posh bynt with a big arse and a very small brain
This is a wind up - Right?
