This afternoon I'm being elevated to the House Of Lords, where I'm meeting Lord Morris of Manchester, aka Alf Morris, ex MP for Wythenshawe and someone I have known since i was a teenager. One of Alf's Commons speeches gets a mention in Hansard's latest publication and i am writing a piece accordingly. I am looking forward to the meeting - Alf, like Jack Jones and sundry others of his generation, is a shining beacon of integrity. Shame there aren't more like him in the current crop of career politicians

Yes I remember him during the early years , talking on TV. Yes your right about we are missing these people, sadly new labour keep reminding us they do not want to return to those years. I had a better dam life in the 1970 then I do now.
Hi Susan - what on earth do we do now?
Labour voter for over 40 years; I was 100% behind Janet. Working in Halifax's dying textile industry, I was a fan of Alice and Shirley Summerskill and admired Bob and later Ann Cryer's stands. I'd very happily have supported you!! but how can we embrace S Booth? Seems like a total, shaming mess. and
