That was sudden. Only the other day I heard him on the radio talking about MPs salaries.

Can't say I was a fan, but my sympathies go to his family.

Mmmm... speaking as a 52-year old in not the best of health it does remind you of your mortality.

So very sad, 52 is no age at all. He will be sadly missed by many people.

A man who on the death of our longest serving Prime Minister said something more than unsavory.
I won't stoop to his level however and my thoughts go out to his family.

Sir Robert Walpole? He died in 1742. What on earth did Crow say 250+ years on?

My thoughts are with his family. I may have vehemently disagreed with nearly everything he said but I do believe he genuinely had the best interests of his members at heart.

I reckon he was in the pockets of network rail chiefs, sold us down the river.

I don't think the RMT give a toss about any of it's members in the privatised Rail industry  , specially those up North .

I stopped my £4+ a week subscription a few years ago when they failed to back our pay claim ,which was an accept this or get nothing offer .
