THE death on Christmas morning of Alice Mahon, Labour MP for Halifax 1987 to 2005, is a sad loss for the labour movement and for all those of us who knew her.
There are few like Alice in the House of Commons nowadays — an MP who remained outspokenly committed to peace, socialism and internationalism. She will be very missed by those of us who share those values.
Alice was a member of the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs, and an avid Morning Star reader.
