The Old Crem 3,582 Posted February 18, 2019 With the Labour split it will be interesting to see if Shirley Williams (88) appears in the media as she should be considered for the main list. Same with David Owen but he is more active and only 80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw her on tv giving an interview in response to the labour defections.Have to say she looks remarkably good for an 88 year old. No point in having her on the list for a while ! No sign of Bill Rodgers though so he could be in much frailer health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing wrong in reporting a death in different threads, expecially if it fits those threads like in this case. Anyway when doing it don't write it down as it is last-minute breaking news, as it is not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
