Tribute to Lord Rosser by Baroness Smith

Remembering Richard Rosser: A Champion for Working People

Richard Rosser, a former trade union general secretary, local magistrate, and shadow minister, dedicated his life to improving the lives of working people. His remarkable political career and personal qualities left a lasting impact on all who knew him.

A True Gentleman and Dedicated Public Servant

Richard Rosser possessed a rare political gift, combining formidable parliamentary skills with a kind and approachable demeanor. Despite his strong political views, he was respected and admired across the political spectrum. Tributes from prominent figures such as the Lord Speaker and Keir Starmer reflect the high regard in which he was held.

Early Life and Career

Born in London in 1944, Richard began his career as an industrial relations clerk before pursuing a degree in Economics from the University of London. His talent for negotiation and representation led him to a successful tenure as the general secretary of a trade union, where he championed the rights of workers during a period of significant change in the railway industry.

A Multifaceted Leader

Richard’s contributions extended beyond his union work. He served as a Labour councillor, played a key role in party reforms, and was actively involved in non-league football as the president of the Isthmian Football League. His dedication to public service continued in the House of Lords, where he served on various committees and as a shadow minister in multiple frontbench teams.

A Fondly Remembered Legacy

Richard Rosser’s legacy is one of integrity, passion for politics, and a genuine kindness towards all. His impact on colleagues, opponents, and the community at large is deeply felt, and he will be dearly missed. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, including his wife Sheena, their children, and grandchildren.

Baroness Smith of Basildon, a Labour peer and Shadow Leader of the House of Lords, pays tribute to the memory of Richard Rosser and his significant contributions to public life.
