RIP, Tony Benn

I met him a couple of times #namedrop and he was one of those people who turned out to be exactly as you’d expect: charming, considerate, cheerfully radical, optimistic, and unfailingly polite to people he profoundly disagreed with. I genuinely can’t think of another politician I’ve met or heard of in the last forty years who was so unfailingly positive and personally so nice.
