Saddened to have read in the last few minutes that Norman Geras died this morning. I only met him the once, during the initial meetings of The Euston Manifesto which he helped set up, but always found him to be meticulous and thoughtful in his politics, I am glad I got to interview him for this blog, and he later returned the favour. Put simply, Norman was one of the pioneers of UK political blogging and politics online will be smaller for his passing.
