## Resource

Roy Hattersley, Labour’s revered “nearly man” and tireless advocate for social justice, has died. A three-decade MP and deputy leader, he steered the party through turbulent 1980s reforms, championing disarmament and European unity — all while staying firmly rooted in socialist principles. Though he later clashed with Tony Blair’s market-friendly New Labour, his unwavering commitment to equality, especially in education, defined his legacy. Post-politics, he became Baron Hattersley of Sparkbrook and authored over twenty acclaimed books. His voice, intellect, and devotion to Labour will be deeply missed.
