Mark Hanson's tragic death

Very saddened to hear today of Mark Hanson’s tragic death.

Mark had been a key player in many of Labour online initiatives and I often met Mark at events looking at the internet and its impact on British politics. Sometimes it with us both on the same panel, sometimes with him in the audience asking me a question and sometimes with me being the one in the audience. His contributions were always thoughtful, contained gems I could learn from and he always remembered how much people in different political parties have in common, whatever our other strong disagreements.

My thoughts are with Mark’s family and friends.
