Died today, at the age of 96.

He was one of the last of the 1945 landslide intake - not sure if
there's any others left.

Mind you, some responsibility for the formation of the SDP, and
Labour's 18 years in the wilderness must be laid at his door.

I trust those attending his funeral will have the good taste and decency
to wear donkey-jackets.

I suppose BBC will be showing endless re-runs of "One Foot in the
