George Barrington "Barry" who was the MP for Wirral South until his death on this day. This as a sum of £200 is unaccounted for, having been found missing from Redgrave Shop cash
**"Read More" BELOW for the complete story**
George Barrington "Barry" Porter was a British lawyer and Conservative Party politician who was the MP for Bebington and Ellesmere Port from 1979 to 1983, and then for Wirral South from 1983 until his death on this day
He was described as a heavy smoker and sometimes hard-drinker, and was terminally ill on this day and then died of cancer in London after midnight aged 57
His vigorous right-wing populism—it was characteristic that he advocated both cricket and rugby tours of South Africa while apartheid was still in force—did not find an entirely comfortable home at Westminster even under Margaret Thatcher.
Although he started off by admiring her, he came to feel it was time for her to "hang up her boots", and in 1990 he emerged as one of Michael Heseltine's more supervising supporters.
Porter believed that his role in Thatcher's downfall would end his political career, and there was an effort to deselect him ahead of the 1992 general election, but it was unsuccessful.
