See. That's why I wouldn't be the right person for the job @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool. I don't do detail😕 We need organised minds to keep us under control.
Unfortunately, I think one of the criteria for the Cabinet of Trust is that the candidates must be alive. Sanity is a matter for consideration. Some of the Monster Raving Loony Party's ideas don't seem so loony now.

If book, film and TV characters are possible then Professor Dumbledore from Harry Potter. He's got the old man's beard of trust, a certain authority (aided by the elder wand) and I guess magic too.
I spent spring watching to much Harry potter films as our son read the first 4 and watched the films repeatedly afterwards. Only first four because he's 8 years old and number 5 onwards is a little scary supposedly.
If death wasn't a barrier I'd choose Heseltine in his Tarzan prime!! I think he was the last of the older generation of MPs with ability. Tony Benn might fit that category too. I'd also say Thatcher if only to have the first female PM in there (and possibly to get older labourites' reaction).
If living only I'd not have any actors, sports people or celebrities of any level A to Z. I'd stuff it with academics, experts in as wide a range of fields as possible. Indeed 650 of them as our MPs. The added benefit would be certain tabloids getting apopletic about them being experts. We were supposedly in the era of lack of trust in experts. Unfairly IMHO as they cannot mess up as much as the politicians have over the years. I'd also make at least one of them a sociologist because most people don't know what they study when in fact they possibly have a bigger impact on state policies than people realise.

From his obituary:
Campaigning under the slogan: "Vote for insanity - you know it makes sense", his party policies include:
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
