My good friend Elliott Johnson died last week.
I had known Elliott for many years. His first job was at Number 10 Cafe where we worked together. He did his work experience with me when I was County Councillor. Elliott was a Conservative activist, as am I, and we had fought many campaigns side by side.
There is nothing bad to say about Elliott. He did not have a bad bone in his body. He was just the most generous, caring, decent man. He had such immense talent and was so noble and kind. He was also the most true and loyal friend anybody could ever wish for.
I am so immensely sad, there are no more words.
