A load of the current shower of politicians would do well to emulate him. A great parliamentarian and man of action. RIP

Absolutely, someone who entered politics for the right reasons, and acted honourably while in it.

Not nearly enough of his ilk in Westminster these days.

Always seemed to be a honest person who I felt was more like the general public than most other politicians

As said by others a great parliamentarian and a politician that puts most of the current lot to shame (across the political divide). Although I was not in tune with his politics I do believe he would have made a great PM.
RIP sir, by condolences to his family and friends,

I admired him a lot and he was head and shoulders above most of the current crop of politicians in terms of integrity and ability.
