Happy Birthday, Bryan Gould! Your political journey—from the lively debates in Parliament to championing progressive policies during your term representing Dagenham from 1974 to 1979 and again from 1983 to 1994—proves that some sequels really are better than their originals. May your birthday be as dynamic as a spirited parliamentary session, minus all the shouting (well, maybe just a little).Your ongoing contributions and keen analyses keep reminding us of your timeless wit and insight. Cheers on another year successfully avoiding retirement boredom by continuing to inspire discussions across politics and beyond. Keep politicking with panache—happy birthday!
