GONNIE CAMPBELL
Former Labour MP Ronnie Campbell has died aged 80. The former miner represented Blyth Valley for 32 years, and often went against the grain in his party both good (always opposing the Iraq War) and bad (opposing same-sex marriage even as it became the party norm). A prior bout with stomach cancer meant he’d been an occasional longlister, though by the time of his death he was only a DDP pick by dint of time’s Ronnies.
