Stuart Weir, the New Statesman’s editor from 1987 to 1991, died peacefully in his sleep on 2 July 2024, after a series of strokes. He was 85.
Mischievous is the word that comes immediately to mind about Stuart. A roguish sense of humour, a delight in being contrarian, a gleeful opposition to authority when he could expose its misdeeds.
