    Very sad to hear of the death of Shirley Williams, a tower of social democratic and liberal politics. Her vision of a mixed UK economy at the heart of Europe provoked me and so many to leave Labour in the 80s. Her intellect, emotional intelligence and good humour are a huge loss.

        From this southern bank of the Channel, the founding of SDP let me hope a political Renaissance — just, the society and democracy going together instead of being dealt with by separate ideologies. Sure, no Grand Soir came — but hope remains! Lady Shirley Williams, thank you.

        I met her once. So kind and unassuming. In a better World , she would have held one of the top Offices of State. Will be sadly missed.

        I am not in your Party but will always remember her speech at Wilton Park conference centre many years ago. Intelligent, lucid, polite. A real loss for the whole country. David

        Dear global citizens, please spread the word. Japan has now made an official decision to dump radioactive wastewater into the ocean. They purposefully passed the decision at 8 in the morning to be discreet. This has to be stopped. #stopwastewaterdumping #JapanNuclearWater
