I feel humbled to be able to speak about Tony. He shadowed me when I was Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and it was always a pleasure and an honour to be able to have a private conversation with him. We could have a proper, open, frank conversation behind the scenes. Every single time we spoke there was something new—there was a different perspective that Tony gave me, a different way of thinking about things, and he helped me enormously in the task we both had to try to restore devolved government to Northern Ireland. After that time we remained close and would regularly chat about Northern Ireland and what was going on. We always had a great conversation and he was always generous and warm and witty. I was very honoured that last month he was able to co-host with me an event that the British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union held to mark the 75th anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights. Tony being Tony, he went around every stall; every possible person met him, and they knew that he was engaged and listening to them, which is a rare quality in the people we come across.

I met Tony about 30 years ago in the run-up to the 1997 general election. I thought then, and have continued to think ever since, what a tolerant and restrained man he was, even when he felt strongly. He took over as chair of the parliamentary Labour party at a time when tensions between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were at their sharpest. He was able to guide the PLP through that period. It is extraordinary to think that when Tony came into this place, Michael Foot was leader of the Labour party. I remember Tony telling me many years ago that as a young boy, he saw the Busby babes play, with the great Duncan Edwards. In conclusion, Tony’s tolerance and restraint were an exemplar. There are an awful lot of people—not just in here, but outside as well—who could usefully learn a few lessons from Tony.

I add my condolences to those of colleagues; Tony was a man who commanded universal respect across the House and beyond. It was an absolute pleasure to work closely with him during his time as Mayor of Greater Manchester. He proved to be the perfect inaugural Mayor with his easy-going charm and ability to work well not only with the three parties who were leading the boroughs of Greater Manchester, but with a Conservative Government. The experience he had of this place and of ministerial office built the confidence in the role of Mayor of Greater Manchester—the confidence that it could be entrusted with powers and responsibilities devolved from this place. Without his sure-footed leadership, not only the mayoralty of Greater Manchester but those of other city regions might not have taken root in the way that they have.

I first met Tony Lloyd in 1988. He helped us arrange a showing of Amnesty International artwork to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the UN declaration of human rights at Manchester central library. We managed to have a fantastic launch event, featuring Tony and some actors from “Coronation Street”. The wholeheartedness with which he supported what we wanted to do was typical of Tony. He was the MP for Stretford and later became the MP for Rochdale. In all those roles, Tony had a substantial influence on our political life, particularly in Greater Manchester and the north-west. I thank him for his friendship and support across the years.

I am not going to talk for long, because a lot of people knew Tony better than I did, but for the past four years I had the privilege of sharing a borough with him. He was a parliamentarian’s parliamentarian, but he was also a fantastic local community representative. If we are talking about the spirit of co-operativism that is Rochdale, Tony embodied that. This was a man who gave his all for something he really cared about.
