RIP Jack Dromey M.P. Died suddenly and unexpectedly 7th January 2022.

I didn't open the thread until just now - the title doesn't give many clues!

Jack Dromey always seemed a decent and respected MP - and one that was willing and able to work with and for Miliband, Corbyn and Starmer - so not big on factionalism.

He didn't really register with me as an MP but I remember him from various T&G/Unite campaigns, and especially the major role he played supporting the Grunwick strikers. I think he wrote a book about the strike?
