Frank Dobson's Death

Sadly, Frank Dobson has died.  Frank was the long serving MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Health Secretary in Tony Blair's first Cabinet, a Leader of Camden Council and Labour's first London Mayoral candidate in 2000. 

I was his election agent in 2005 and his reputation across the constituency was extraordinary.  He had served there from 1979, and by the time I got there he was extraordinarily well known for all the work he had done as a constituency MP.  People would thank him for things he had done from them twenty years before, and that was no part of the community that he hadn't touched in some way.
