Socialist Resistance offers condolences to the many people who are like us mourning the death of Tony Benn today.
Benn was a passionate and articulate orator and writer for the ideas of socialism, a tireless advocate of democracy, a fervent supporter of movement for nuclear disarmament and against war and a battler against those who sought to make the labour movement less receptive to the voices and demands of working class people.
We will publish a fuller appreciation over the next few days.
