I'm always surprised by Clive Bossom being still alive. Don't know why but he's one of the names whose deaths I expect to see reported here every morning after I wake up.

On the Denis Healey thread?

Isn't there a version of this list in Political Frailty anyway?

If we want to fill his space with another ageing UK Politician from years past there are plenty of optionS.

 

Peter Carrington

Patrick Jenkin

Geoffrey Howe

Jim Prior

Greville Janner

Bill Rodgers

David Waddington

Betty Boothroyd

Peter Tapsell

Douglas Hurd

Gerald Kaufman

Shirley Williams

Norman Tebbit

Cecil Parkinson

John Nott

Dennis Skinner

Nigel Lawson

Roy Hattersley

Michael Heseltine

Tom King

David Winnick

Kenneth Baker

 

All are over 80 now and highly obitable. I think that Carrington should definitely go back on next years list and that Geoffrey Howe and Greville Janner should be added as well to next years list.

Kaufman and Waddington both gone in the last 3 days, to join Howe, Jenkin ,Prior Janner and Parkinson. They're dropping like flies !

I think it's an omen for Peter Carrington to be the 3rd Deathlist hit this year.

Roy Hattersley on Radio 4 just now paying tribute. Sounds a bit vague.

 

So, business as usual then?

No in his prime when he used to be on Parliamentry Questions he was very witty. I have read one of his books about the years between the World Wars. Very Good Read.

Cool. I have/had one or two of his books somewhere. Not a fan. tbh, too much of the Melvyn Bragg/Mark Lawson approach for my liking.
