To me, John Molyneux was first and foremost a teacher. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer, and he was so generous with his time in giving guidance. I have never met a more intelligent and thoughtful person.

The breadth of his knowledge was shocking. Art, history, politics: he could speak at length about anything, and I would always come away with having learnt something new and having something to think about.

I’m still in shock at his passing this weekend. My thoughts and condolences are with Mary, his family and everyone who have the privilege of calling him a friend and comrade.

In the relatively short time I knew him, I learnt so much from him. I, and countless others, will continue to learn from him. The impact he has had on my politics, how I see the world and my activism is immeasurable.

We have lost a dear comrade, but we continue his work, all the while wishing we had had more time with him.
