Tributes are flooding in for Labour MP David Cairns, who has died aged 44 after a short illness.
The MP for Inverclyde had been in intensive care in Royal Free hospital in London after spending eight weeks in hospital suffering from acute pancreatitis.
He died at 23:00 BST last night. Mr Cairns leaves behind his partner Dermot, brother Billy and father John.
Former Labour prime minister Tony Blair said Westminster, politics and the Labour party would all be poorer without Mr Cairns."David's life was dedicated to public service. He was a committed and conscientious constituency MP, an excellent government minister and a passionate campaigner for social justice, equality and opportunity," he said.
