Viceroy 13 Posted October 15 Lord Tebbit was always a must-read in the Telegraph during the Cameron years when the rest of mainstream media were covering for him. Probably my favourite former cabinet minister left alive now that Lord Lawson has gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you learn something every day, I never knew the Telegrath had such a dinstinguished cycling correspondent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summer in Transylvania 2,169 Posted November 11 I saw him while walking around Bury St. Edmunds today. Nothing much to report, really, except that he was making use of a motorised wheelchair, but that may just be due to his age. Not that he's much in contention for it, but I wouldn't advise dropping him next year. 6 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I saw him was in 2021/2, not too long before he retired from the House of Lords. He looked like Skeletor then, but he was still walking (albeit with a stick). Didn't think he'd last this long. If he's still out and about then there's a good chance he'll see 94 in March. However, I wouldn't support dropping him from the list. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,164 Posted November 11 I thought he'd go soon after his wife Margaret given they were clearly a very devoted couple but he's outlived her by nearly four years so far. Carteresque. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carteresque. People surprise you.My Grandfather was frail as hell albeit no where near as bas as carter but extremely physically unwell and frail to the extreme but when my Nan died from alzheimers he was more relieved than devastated although he was heartbroken.He lived for her but when she died he chanelled that energy Into to his other family .He lasted 21 months.

dimreaper 692 Posted November 12 https://x.com/victorshannock/status/1855585674952348069 Some footage of him at a remembrance ceremony on Nov. 10 (possibly the same event Summer in Transylvania referenced). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming @dimreaper that Tebbit is the one in the wheelchair/scooter? If so he his definitely a must to keep on the 2025 list as he looks awful and looks like it's a miracle he his still alive.

He's sat with Peter Prinsley, the current (Labour) MP for Bury St. Edmunds and Stowmarket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
