Sir Gerald Kaufman, Labour MP for Manchester Gorton and Father of the House of Commons, has died aged 86.
A practising Jew, he was best known for his fierce opposition to the policies of the Israeli government and its treatment of the Palestinians.
Farewell then Gerald Kaufman. A thoroughly decent man and good public servant.

Another decent Labour man has met his end sadly. They will probably try and replace him with some hard leftist momentum candidate. Tragic.
