I was never a fan but very sad - an honest politician imo.

An honest man who stuck to his principles, a rare thing for parliament.

You could make a case for Rab Butler but that was a loooooong time ago.

The media was obsessed with image even when the lamented Michael Foot was leader.
There won't be many politicians to eulogise over in future.
Denis Skinner, Tony Benn...... the list isn't very long.

Remembrance Parade in a donkey jacket. I hope that someone important turns up for his funeral looking a 'shoot bag'.

Talking of image and Dennis Skinner I can recall Private Eye reporting, at the time of the Stephen Milligan death, that Dennis was being teased about his woolly hat by the Tories and he replied 'At least I'm not wearing a bag over me head'!

It was an expensive Duffle coat actually - and it was a cold day.

Still - why not stick to the Tory press inspired lies.
