Former Labour leader, writer, founder member of CND, and one of the great parliamentary orators of his time has died at the age of 96.

The first party leader I voted for when I became old enough to vote.

A sad loss, but a good innings.

I will refrain from discussing Thatcher because this is about Foot.

The simple truth was that he should never have been appointed as the Leader of the Labour Party, he was simply out of his depth.

Other of his quotes make me smile but as they are to be found in the wiki one never knows if they are true or not.
