Momentum tweeted the news - so they'd brought him back into the fold, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the pages don't even work anymore. Pity as it's the only complete record online of MP and peer records and honours etc. Seems I'm not the only one who's noticed. Thread updated to confirm his death. He went in for an operation... died of complications. Sad news. His website I use a lot as it is one of the most comprehensive and complete records in existence of Parliament, peers, honours etc. His site has its license until Feb 2020 then it may fall off. I might try and archive his work for reference sake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,129 Posted June 12, 2019 I'll just say, as I usually do, that ALL deaths should be posted in this thread, as well as in their specialised thread(s). I can't see the point of having it otherwise. But not many seem to agree with me. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
