"Ex-Lib Dem leader Kennedy dead at 55". Very sad. Tributes on the BBC website.
Update Wednesday 3 June – not surprisingly, today's papers are full of Charles Kennedy tributes. Here are some 'highlights':
- Alastair Campbell in the Guardian: Charles Kennedy – a lovely man, a talented politician, a great friend
- Iain MacDonald in The National: Charles Kennedy: The Charles, Charles charm and humanity that created a political force
- Guardian: Charles Kennedy confidante: 'He had so many tragedies thrown at him'
