ALF MORRIS: PEOPLE’S PARLIAMENTARIAN

This 500-page authorised biography, by Derek Kinrade, charts the life and work of one of the Forum’s distinguished patrons. As MP for Wythenshawe (Manchester) for 33 years and since 1997 in the House of Lords, Alf Morris – aptly described as a quiet revolutionary - has wrought a sea change in attitudes to disabled people in ways that still resonate across the world. Derek tells Alf’s remarkable story from its beginnings in the then slums of Ancoats, through a long and remarkable career unostentatiously devoted to an agenda outside conventional political priorities, but unfailingly close to the concerns of the most vulnerable members of our society.
