Tribute to Tony Benn
by Left Unity
Bianca Todd of Left Unity said:
“Tony Benn was an inspiration – a towering figure for the whole left and beyond. His skills in writing, campaigning and speaking led an untold amount of people to organise and become politically active.
“He was the polar opposite of today's career politicians. For as long as he could stand and speak, he was part of the campaigns against cuts, against war and so much more.
“There was only Tony Benn. He will be missed greatly, but across the left, we will continue to organise in his memory. We send our love and condolences to the family, friends and comrades whose lives Tony Benn touched.”
Left Unity is the new party of the left in Britain. Founded in November 2013, it already has over 1,400 members and 40 branches across the country.
