Can you see anyone of his stature coming up the road today, any current or recent past ministers or their shadows? Didn't think so.
A giant - RIP.

45govt, I'm just looking out - and....oh, here comes David Milliband and Ed Balls, thank goodness for that.

He was MP for Ashford when I worked there.

He seemed to be acquainted with everyone, and even if he didn't know you, he made you feel important in his parish.

As 45Govt says, who comes anywhere near him? Nobody in this godforsaken government that's for sure!

I was going to say they don't make them like that any more, but I see many have beaten me to it. A real journalist!
