At the start of the year I introduced you to Theodore Cooke Taylor (1850-1952) who holds the record for being the longest lived former MP. Today I can exclusively reveal that Taylor is the great great uncle of the editor of Liberal Democrat News.
Deirdre Razzall told me today that she never met him, but there is a family story about Theodore's 100th birthday party. He said to Deirdre's father: "You've got three little girls now, haven't you? And the youngest has a funny Celtic name."
She also believes that Theodore was an influential figure in the Liberal Party coming to be identified with profit sharing. It's a shame the Liberal Democrats have lost that belief.

Some Liberal Democrats have lost belief in profit-sharing.
