Which virtue do you think Britain needs a proper revival of in 2025?
Some old-fashioned qualities feel in short supply these days, from public life to the local high street. Rank the virtues you'd most like to see making a comeback across the UK.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Honesty in public office
Politicians who admit mistakes, resign when caught, and don't hide behind carefully worded statements drafted by six advisers.
B
Personal accountability
Taking responsibility for your own actions rather than blaming algorithms, upbringing, or the government of the day.
C
Genuine neighbourliness
Looking out for the elderly widow on your street or lending a drill without a Ring doorbell interrogation first.
D
Patience and civility
Queuing without huffing, listening without interrupting, and not losing the plot at a Pret cashier over a wrong order.
E
Moral courage
Challenging the boss, the group chat, or the mob when something's clearly wrong, even when silence would be easier.
