Disabled rights pioneer Lord Morris of Manchester dies

MP for Manchester Wythenshawe 1964-1997 and one of two Labour MPs - the other was Jack Ashley who died earlier this year - who did so much for the disabled from the late 60s onwards. RIP.

Grauniad obit written, naturally, by Andrew Roth (who died himself in 2010).

And a good obit over at the Torygraph as well.

R.I.P

The 1960's were a great time for private members bills that really made a difference. A different class of politician.

Yes, you do have to wonder where all the crusading backbenchers have gone.
