A sordid tale for Nye Bevan’s heir

LABOUR MP Chris Evans has written a biography of world light-heavyweight champion boxer Freddie Mills, who committed suicide after an unwise involvement with the Kray Twins.

It was claimed he was a multiple-killer — dubbed Jack the Stripper — responsible for strangling to death at least eight women prostitutes between 1959 and 1965 and dumping their naked bodies in West London.

A strange choice for an MP representing a constituency in South Wales, where the bestknown socialist hero is Nye Bevan, regarded as the father of the NHS.
