Geoffrey Edge (born 26 May 1943) was British Labour Party politician.
Geoffrey Edge was born in West Bromwich and educated at the London School of Economics. He then became a university lecturer. Edge was Member of Parliament for Aldridge-Brownhills from 1974 to 1979, when he lost the seat to the Conservative Richard Shepherd. To this day, Labour have not managed to regain Aldridge-Brownhills after a change in the constituency boundaries, even at the 1997 general election landslide - indicating the seat is no longer a marginal.
Famous quotes containing the word edge:
“His poor, crazy, deformed body was a mere Pandora’s box, containing all the physical ills that ever afflicted humanity. This, perhaps, whetted the edge of his satire, and may in some degree excuse it.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
