The oldest UK parliament member, Labour MP for Manchester Gorton and Father of the House of Commons, Gerald Kaufman has died aged 86, BBC reported.
In 2015, Kaufman became the oldest deputy of the House of Commons. Gerald became an MP in north-west England in 1970, first for the Manchester Ardwick constituency and then for Manchester Gorton, which he had served since 1983.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn led tributes to him, calling him an “iconic and irascible figure”.
