Michael Foot remembered

Tributes have continued to pour in for the former leader of the Labour Party, Michael Foot.

Both Neil Kinnock and Maggie Thatcher have paid their tributes to Foot, describing him as a giant of politics.

Foot, aged 96, over saw one of the most turbulent periods of the Labour Party, leading to it's biggest electoral defeat.

Arguably, he failed to spot the dangers posed by radical groups within the party - but I suspect this shall form a minor foot note in history.

Michael Foot, 1916 - 2010.
