 Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Obituary: Lord Longford
Longford was the only person to visit this dying man, a gesture repeated in countless episodes that never made headlines but which brought succour and relief.
Longford was tempted to decline the offer and await a suitable byelection, but feared that, since his childless elder brother was in poor health, it was inevitable that he would soon become the Earl of Longford.
In terms of prestige, Longford had reached the pinnacle of his career but, in practice, he was impotent, and often resorted to playing up to his image as the cabinet jester.
