Paul Flynn RIP

[Antepli Ejderha]

The father of the house has passed away. A real voice on issues of Wales and workers and typical of a number of South Wales Labour MPs from the 80s.

He would have been a great influence in today's Labour Party but sadly he's no longer with us.

[ooh aah]

My (old) local MP, he was a great example of what an MP should be, always visible locally, and the only reason I still bothered to vote for Labour in 2010, when I was a bit worried he might lose his seat. In the end he held on fairly comfortably. I hope we get someone as committed to the consituency as he was, as Newport East have had some real shitty representatives in the corresponding time he was representing the west.

Paul Flynn obituary

I don't feel this obituary really does him justice. Whoever follows in his footsteps certainly had a lot to live up to. Michael Sheen the actor perhaps?

Yeah Flynn was a good guy. Sad news
