Paddy Ashdown dies

Post by Captain Seafort »

Former Liberal Democrats leader Paddy Ashdown has died aged 77 following a short illness, a party spokesperson has said.

The former MP for Yeovil made an "immeasurable contribution to furthering the cause of liberalism" and would be "desperately missed", a statement said.

Lib Dem leader Vince Cable said it was "a hugely sad day" for the party.

Lord Ashdown was diagnosed with bladder cancer in October.
"Former Lib Dem leader", "former MP for Yeovil". Of all the things the man did in his life, those were the least of his accomplishments.
