A wealthy man who dedicated his life to improving the lives of the poor and those workers at the bottom of the pile. An honourable man who shames so many of the rich elite today who would rather support right wing politics and cream off even more for themselves. Tony, you will be sadly missed.

"The key to any progress is to ask the question why? All the time. Why is that child poor? Why was there a war? Why was he killed? Why is he in power? And of course questions can get you into a lot of trouble, because society is trained by those who run it, to accept what goes on. Without questions we won't make any progress at all."

'Even when you disagreed with everything he said', said the PM on a champion of the poor, downtrodden, working-class, NHS, and democracy. Sounds about right.
