R.I.P. Alan Baker

Some sad news this week Labour Party member Alan Baker passed away this weekend after a short illness.
The GC meetings will be significantly less entertaining without Alan. Cantankerous, sexist and his dislike for Blair was absolute, nevertheless nearly all who knew him held him in great affection and despite the party troubles and his venom for New Labour he never once considered leaving.

Alan you'll be missed and Tony Blair's ears won't burn quite so brightly without you around.
