Tony Blair today paid tribute to former Leader of the Labour Party, Michael Foot. He said:
“Michael Foot was a giant of the Labour movement, a man of passion, principle and outstanding commitment to the many causes he fought for. He took over the leadership at the most difficult time in Labour's history and conducted himself with huge dignity. I will always remember his personal kindness to me from the time of Beaconsfield byelection onwards. Even when he disagreed with me, he was immensely supportive and kind. His book Debts of Honour is still one of my favourites. We shall greatly miss him and always revere his memory.”
