Not really sure but based on my perception of them if I had to pick 4 as my advisors when I storm to power in the revolution of 2027 it would be:

Ken Clarke
Nick Clegg
Hillary Benn
Anna Soubry

Anyone without John Smith on their list loses.
Weirdly might add Heseltine - he always answers questions with honesty plus was a great Spitting Image puppet.

Yvette Cooper
Lisa Nandy
Rishi Sunak
Nicky Morgan

I know people with centrist views are mocked by those on the left and the right, but that’s where I am. Yvette C and Nicky M I saw operating many times in Select Committee. I could easily have included Hilary Benn. All three always impressed me and I would happily see and vote any of them into power. Lisa Nandy seems very pragmatic and has also impressed me. She has a great future. Sunak, likewise.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

Although the OP did limit the list to 21st century politicians and John Smith passed on 1994...but I put a pebble on his grave in Iona seven years ago so I guess we can count that as still having an emotional effect for this century.

Andy Burnham
David Milliband
Jess Phillips

Not really thought in depth about the question but these 4 would probably be it.

All of them speak sense (to me anyway) - especially Ken Clarke who always seemed to get to the nub of any debate whilst everyone else talked extreme left or right wing political b@ll@cks.
