Sir Bernard’s political observations in his weekly column for The Yorkshire Post, which he wrote until last month, were as sharp as ever.

The former press secretary to Margaret Thatcher got to witness several moments in history first-hand and that allowed him to impart a wisdom that is seldom seen in modern politics.

His association with The Yorkshire Post went beyond just his time as a columnist. He was esteemed Labour Correspondent for The Yorkshire Post, covering trade unions, in his early career as a journalist, and was also approached to become editor of the title twice in 1989. The Yorkshire Post would like to extend its condolences to Sir Bernard’s family. The forthright views of the man, described as a “journalist to his bones” by his family, will be missed dearly.
