Outstanding. Worthy of the Phil Reilly era Lib Dem press office

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward


Deeply saddened by the passing of Dick Taverne, a dear friend and remarkable man who dedicated his life to public service and the public good. Through each and every one of his ideas and actions, and by generously supporting others, Lord Taverne managed to make life richer, fairer and more knowledgeable for everyone. As a mentor and co-founder of our charity many years ago, he placed a huge amount of trust and confidence in me, a 30-something who wanted to make a difference, by indulging and funding a dream project. I feel endless gratitude for his warmth, friendship and for taking a chance on me. This is the sweetest photo I have of us - waving at each other on my wedding day, feeling pure joy and happiness for being in each other’s company. Dick was 97 years old and a treasure of a human being. My thoughts are with Janice and the whole family.







My new book, out in the autumn!! 📖
