Knew from updates on Facebook how ill he is, and knowing how strong his faith is to him, I hope this honour from the Vatican brings him some comfort.

I've posted before how he helped me as a student, when I was battling Liverpooi city council in the eighties, even though there wasn't a vote in it for him.

He was definitely a people, rather than party politican.

I wish there were more like him today.

Most of my political heroes are from the left.

I think this rare breed, a politican not in it for themselves, deserves inclusion on my list.
