He went down in my estimations after deliberately turning off the lights at Simon Hughes’s leadership launch in Manchester – just so he could make a cheap joke.
My abiding memory of Michael Crick is leaving a Manchester derby at Eastlands when City spanked United and seeing him leaving. In floods of tears.
He’s doorstepping outside Reading station tonight on the Budget.
