Former Labour MP Frank Field dies aged 81

Former Labour MP and crossbench peer Frank Field has died at the age of 81.

He was MP for Birkenhead between 1979 and 2019, and served as welfare reform minister in the first Blair government.

Although a Labour man for most of his life, he was a maverick who ploughed his own political furrow, and his death has prompted tributes from across the political spectrum.
