Last Word (BBCRadio4 Obit Show)
Roy Hattersley
Daphne Hamilton-Fairley
Roger Cook
Sterling BetancourtLast Word
Lord Roy Hattersley, the former Deputy Leader of the Labour party. He was born and brought up in Sheffield. In his book A Yorkshire Boyhood, he confessed to being passionate about three things: Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, Yorkshire County Cricket and socialist politics. His friend and colleague, Lord Kinnock, pays tribute.
Daphne Hamilton-Fairley, spoke out for tolerance after her husband was killed by an IRA bomb. He had inspired her to become a speech therapist and after his death she set up one of the first specialist schools for dyslexia and other special educational needs. She named it Fairley House, after her husband. Her daughter Diana Hamilton-Fairley shares her memories.
Roger Cook was the intrepid investigative journalist who pioneered the technique known as “doorstepping” - challenging those he suspected of wrongdoing face to face with the camera or tape recorder running. First on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme Checkpoint and then on ITV’s The Cook Report he took on criminals and fraudsters on behalf of listeners and viewers. Matthew talks to his colleague Tim Tate.
Sterling Betancourt was a pioneer of steel pan music from Trinidad and Tobago. He was one of the first to bring the instrument to Britain in the 1950s and went on to play a big role in the early days of the Notting Hill Carnival. Sterling’s wife Beatrice Elokbi tells his story.

Powerful writing by #MartinFlanagan about an icon of Labor as a party of the people, a party with principles.
It's unfair to compare Tom Uren with Roger Cook (or Anthony Albanese).
But here we are, with our corporate captured Labor leaders boosting weapons manufacture and complicit in the Zionists' genocide in Palestine.#TomUren #RogerCook #AnthonyAlbanese #GazaGenocide #ArmsIndustry #AusPol

Gee, the +50 year old Decentralisation flag has been restitched and run up the flag pole in 2026.
Cookie will be winning votes in the regions now. The LNP may as well go Green.
With all the $$$ sloshing round WA now, and the housing crisis ongoing, it's imaginable that some of these cities will actually be grown.
But the chances of them getting a fair go from the Perthlings politically is less than slim.

And our dear, so beloved, Cook Labor government, goes to great lengths to make it clear to landlords that tenancy laws are not going to get changed.
And with The Greens sidelined by the media, including WA's Kerry Stokes' media, the vote for ON looks likely to rise further. 🤮

"Stalker keeps Aust visa"
The article below from WA's Post newspaper March 7th 2026 gives a chilling gauge on the acceptability of violence against women in Australia and WA.Anthony Albanese's big handwaving about stopping domestic violence has obviously passed on by and it's back to violence against women as normal.

Domestic life and commercial contracts don't mix well.
Lease contracts here in Perth heavily favour the property owner, and frequently see their agents using the power imbalance to oppress and harass renters.
But #RogerCook's government is OK with that.
I did a #CELTA - 8 wk pressure cooker course - prepaid. Get sick? You get no refund on thousand$$.But somewhere I think there is a line. And I think "No refunds", if in the contract, was OK

"Why not ditch the checks and balances on development applications!"
"Let's do it!"

#WesternAustralia #Perth
Yes the state government is a clear example of #CorporateCapture.There was a previous #Woodside arrest as a person got out of a car at the CEO's address.
And #RogerCook's leap to smooth over criticism of #Chevron by a retiring left wing MP was spectacular. And fawningly obsequious. 🔆If marches and demos get popular as #ClimateChange sets in, WA is all set up to stomp like fascists on protestors.

West Aussies, Cookie wants your feedback on changing public holidays to match the eastern states.
Tell him what you think (which of course is that we want more. Apparently we get the least in the country?!)
For purely selfish reasons I'd support celebrating the Kings Birthday in June and moving WA Day, so I can occasionally have a public holiday on my birthday.

You can say what you like about #AlboMP.
But overseeing the destruction of the ancient rock art of #WA's NorthWest is a dog act.
#DogAct - Australian criminal cant for an action befitting the lowest of the low. (So low that they'd shop someone.)
See too what #RogerCook's WA government covered up,
"Scientist expresses concern WA government department interferred with rock art report linked to North West Shelf approval process" -

“Chevron does the bare minimum in this regard, but does its very best in facilitating its contractors to avoid complying with Australian workplace laws.” - #KyleMcGinn May 2025.Cookie at least remembered to take off his Chevron shirt off before defending the great American benefactor of WA.
Well said Roger. Here's a baby wipe for those lips.

Antony Green has delivered the killing blow to the hopes of any RWNJs who thought they had a chance of winning. Roger Cook has been voted-in to give Labour another term to govern Western Australia.
Western Australia continues to be a wasteland for the LNP. I wish I could say it's because the ALP are brilliant strategists or have amazing policies, but it's starting to seem the ALP has been coasting for years, and the LNP have been a hot mess for years.
A stand-out example of this is Liberal candidate, Basil Zempilas, who said to the ABC that he's the victim of a massive smear campaign. In reality, the only person smearing Basil Zempilas is Basil Zempilas — he defames himself every time he opens his mouth.
It's too early to say with any precision, but I would like to think that when the final votes are counted, the LNP have a similarly dismal presence in Parliament as last term, when Labor won 53 out of 59 of the seats.
