LabourList is sad to report this morning that Labour MP Alan Keen has passed away. He was 73. He is survived by his wife Ann (a former MP). Lewisham-born Keen was the Labour MP for Feltham and Heston from 1992 onwards. The thoughts of everyone at LabourList are with Ann and the Keen family. We’ll bring you the reaction and tributes as they come in.
