His blog is always one of the must-reads and will create a big void.
Harris is one of the few remaining spokesmen for that great working class Labour tradition that stretches back to the likes of Ernie Bevin and Herbert Morrison - very much on the right of the party, but resolutely Labour and resolutely working class.
He is one of the Labour MPs who dares to agree with his constituents on various issues, when plenty of people in the Labour Party now knowingly ignore the views of their working class constituents on issues like welfare reform and immigration.
In an age where many political blogs read like they have been dictated by party HQ, Harris is renowned for his independence of mind.
His blog will be a great miss to the blogosphere.
