Thomas was strongly believed to have some strange and unpleasant sexual tastes and was not the most popular man in the Commons, particularly by Labour as he appeared to become besotted with the Tories.

He refused to see her. Pretty shitty behaviour you might think. To her credit she carried that secret to her grave.’
