As some of you will already have heard, my friend Ed Broadbent died today, aged 87. Ed was among the most outstanding socialist politicians of his generation, and a singular example of an intellectual who improbably became a populist icon.

So very sad. Ed was a visionary, intellect and passionate advocate for social democracy. He believed in the common good & a strong role for the state. He challenged corporate capitalism. He's why I became a New Democrat. So glad I saw again at Progress Summit. Rest in peace Ed. https://t.co/u8MvPrYvqm
