Deathrace

You could argue this also applies to Nick Clegg albeit he was Deputy Prime Minister.

I recall Raymond Monbiot speaking about how Conservative Party members who knew George Monbiot was his son, used to go up to Raymond and say words to the effect that they were so sorry for his son's politics. To which Raymond told them that although they disagreed on politics, he loved his son and was proud of him. Apparently they got on well which is refreshing given the amount of polarisation about.

Worth noting that her husband has mentioned one of the reasons they've gone public is so she doesn't get well wishers approaching her in the future when she's out and about which has caused her some distress. So that at least implies she's still going out and intends to do so in the future. So probably not quite on her death bed yet.

Worth noting that the other Brighton Conservative MP of that period, Sir Andrew Bowden, is still alive at 93.

Was listening an interview today with the Deputy Editor of the Economist who interviewed Kissinger last month for eight hours. He said that Kissinger had mentioned that he is planning to write two more books - one on Artificial Intelligence - which apparently he's very concerned about. Whatever your thoughts on the man's ethics (and they are somewhat dubious) that's remarkable for someone who's now 100.

Bullock's more accurately. RIP legend.

She's one very unlucky lady. Crohn's disease and stage 3 cancer at the age of 32.
