The death of Lord Frank Field is a profound loss to politics and to our nation. Frank dedicated his life to being a voice for the most vulnerable and marginalised people in the country.
Frank was principled, courageous and independent-minded. He cared about the people he served, thought deeply about the issues he championed, and worked entirely for the good of the people of Birkenhead as their MP for 40 years. His honour and integrity were well known and admired.
On behalf of the Labour Party, my thoughts are with his family.
Statement on the Passing of Frank Field was written by Keir Starmer.
