Labour MP is Rumoured to Have Died
Rumour is that a senior and much respected Labour MP has died tonight. I am not going to name the MP concerned as I only have it from one (albeit previously reliable) source. More later...
You are right Iain, a Labour MP has died tonight. It is very sad indeed as they were a great character and parliamentarian. You are also right not to publish their name until you have confirmation.
Your source wouldn't be Alex (Thatcher is Dead) Hilton then?
ReplyDeleteIndeed not. But having seen his experience I dont intend to name the MP until I am certain.

ReplyDeleteCould this be why This Week has been cancelled? They just described a "change to the scheduling" before it was due to begin on BBC1.
ReplyDeleteWho is he then.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is not one of the good ones.
I agree all deaths are bad.
I hope it is not of the heros of parliament.
BBC confirming the story and naming names!
ReplyDeleteIt's Gwyneth Dunwoody - very sad - great Parliamentarian and lovely person
ReplyDeleteAnother good 'un bites the dust and we are the poorer for her departure.
