    Robin Cook was Leader of the House of Commons until he resigned from the UK government in 2003 over the Iraq War.

    Jesus that's unexpected!

    Indeed. I saw a BBC News report on him last night at work, which showed an excerpt from his resignation speech. The standing ovation he received displayed the respect the House had for him.

    Rest In Peace.
