WHILE I am opposed to Chris Steward politically, it is always sad when a young person of just 36 years, or of any age, younger or older, is cut down by ill health.

I wish him as good a recovery as is possible, but will give him an early warning that if he wishes to re-enter the frontline of local politics in York I will continue to attack him by letters to The Press, as I will continue to attack the Tories and the Lib Dems both nationally and locally.

Get well soon, Chris.
