| Description | MICHAEL FOOT, the former Labour leader, had a secret mistress in the early 1970s during his marriage to Jill Craigie, the film maker.
The left-wing politician’s official biography, to be published next month, describes the mistress, who was a “sexually highly charged black woman”.
Foot, who was famously dishevelled, aroused suspicion in his wife when he began taking perfumed baths and dressing tidily, according to the book. “It caused a serious crisis in his relationship with Jill, not least because it involved significant loans of money to the other woman to pay off her bills,” writes Kenneth Morgan, the biographer. |
