Gedling MP Tom Randall has paid tribute to the Queen.
A spokesperson from Buckingham Palace this afternoon (September 8) confirmed that the Queen had died at the age of 96.
Mr Randall called it ‘devastating news’
He said: “A constant light in our lives is extinguished.
“At any time, constitutional monarchy offers us permanence, moral leadership and a beacon around which to rally. Through her service to this realm and others, Queen Elizabeth II offered this through many people’s lifetimes. Her duty, guided by her Christian faith, gave us support and strength in times of joy and sorrow.
“No remarks about the Queen can adequately summarise the breadth of her life, her work or the deep connection she had with the people she touched. I never met her, but those who had always have a warm tale to tell.”
Sherwood MP Mark Spencer also paid tribute.
He said: “The saddest of all days for our country and our people. Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II.
“Your service and dedication to our nation will never be forgotten.
“My thoughts are with the Royal family at this time.”
That’ll be the same Queen the Tories lied to about their illegal attempt to prorogue Parliament, will it? The same Queen they derided by piss-ups the night before she sat alone at her husband’s funeral?
The sheer hypocrisy of this mouthpiece for amoral, lying self-servers beggars belief. Vote this ineffectual waste of space out at the General Election. Gedling deserves better.
