Yeah, I wasn't here a couple of years ago, so I didn't get that lesson.  I'm learning now.  Fingers crossed though. 

Dewar had a couple write ups and died quickly after diagnosis and close to recent stories so I think the 20% chance someone threw out there is fair.  

Arnold Chan (name just came to me) was ‘cured’ of course and a year later it raged back and he dragged it out another 6 months, so less immediacy and easy for media to lose the impact of the story, where Dewar has a little of that going for him.

As you might remember, Brazil's right-wing populist president Jair Bolsonaro was almost killed by a knife attack before he took office. Now he had surgery to remove the colostomy bag - and now a week later, he's hospitalised with pneunomia:

Lega Nord founder and former Minister Umberto Bossi has been hospitalized in ICU following what sources describe as either a stroke or a fall. Or both. Currently stable and improving according to doctors.

 

A controversial politician, he asked for Independence of the North in the 1990s and later for federalism, which would have been an excellent thing for a Country in which the South has dissipated billions of resources in the last 60 years. Southern mentality ruined Italy. Garibaldi was the greatest cunt to have ever lived; they would be happy with their Borbonic kingdom now instead of asking for money for those who don't want to work (that's what that Arab Di Maio is doing, the fucker). That said Bossi was a traitor: beside marrying a Sicilian he surrounded himself of Southern people (Belsito and Rosy Mauro to cite two) who ruined the party stealing funds. He himself a tax evader and his sons, decerebrated idiots who went to take graduation in Albania, to just pay for it. Bossi destroyed Lega Nord, Salvini resuscitated it. But he is not a hero, he is  a traitor too. Lega Nord from the origins has been completely disowned, now he searches votes from the South and the party is just called Lega. He is betraying those tax evaders who run industries in the North and he knows it. Now the enemy for him are the immigrants, once they were the Southerners. But they have not gone away, nor they have civilized. Mafia everywhere, Turin and Milan completely Southern cities due to mass immigration. Northern Italy is dying, in 20 years it won't exist anymore. And no one cares.

It's real Italy actually. That's why there should be two countries.

Quite a significant death that. She was considered to be the power behind the throne during Wilsons tenure as PM wasn't she  .

Patrick Caddell the political pollster, finds a 100% majority on having a stroke isn't good.

He was 68.

Paul Flynn has died and there will therefore be a by-election in Newport West, almost certainly timed with the local elections in May. Perhaps more after the four resignations tomorrow morning from the Labour backbenchers.

 

Edit: The Sun, BBC obituary.

From all accounts, one of the better guys in Parliament, and a very good community MP.  A shame.
