You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Career==
((More citations needed|section|date=June 2020))
Born in [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]],<ref name=20200401theguardian-lord>((Cite web|date=2020-04-01|title=Lord Graham of Edmonton obituary|url=http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/apr/01/lord-graham-of-edmonton-obituary|access-date=2022-01-18|website=The Guardian|last=Langdon |first=Julia |author-link=Julia Langdon))</ref> Graham was educated at the [[Co-operative College]] and held several positions in the [[co-operative]] movement from 1939, becoming National Secretary for the [[Co-operative Party]].

During the [[Second World War]] he saw active service in the [[British Army]] and was seriously injured by enemy fire. Graham was a councillor on [[Municipal Borough of Enfield|Enfield Borough Council]] from 1961, joining the new [[London Borough of Enfield]] in 1964 and becoming its leader for ten years.

In 1966, Graham contested [[Enfield West (UK Parliament constituency)|Enfield West]] at [[1966 United Kingdom general election|that year's general election]]. He was [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] for [[Edmonton (UK Parliament constituency)|Edmonton]] from [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|February 1974]], serving as a [[Parliamentary Private Secretary]] at the Department of Prices and Consumer Protection from 1974 to 1976, then as a government whip from 1976 to 1979, with the title of [[Lord Commissioner of the Treasury]].

He was an opposition spokesman on the environment from 1980 to 1983, when he lost his seat in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] to [[Ian Twinn]] as part of Labour's landslide election defeat of that year.

On 12 September 1983, after losing his seat, Graham was created a [[life peer]] as '''Baron Graham of Edmonton''', of Edmonton in [[Greater London]].<ref>((London Gazette |issue=49479 |date=15 September 1983 |page=12103))</ref> He was Labour [[Chief Whip]] 1990–97. He was chairman of the Co-operative Council, and served as [[List of Presidents of Co-operative Congress|President]] of the 1987 [[Co-operative Congress]].<ref name=PDF>((Citation|title =Congress Presidents 1869-2002|url=http://archive.co-op.ac.uk/downloadFiles/congressPresidentstable.pdf|date=February 2002| accessdate=10 May 2008|url-status =dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528100558/http://archive.co-op.ac.uk/downloadFiles/congressPresidentstable.pdf|archivedate=28 May 2008))</ref>

Graham was President of the Institute of Meat and Patron of the [[Ancient Order of Foresters]] and of the Edmonton [[Constituency Labour Party]].

== Political career ==
((Unreferenced section|date=June 2020))
On 18 December 1986, Graham was the only Peer in the House of Lords to speak against Lord Halsbury's Local Government Act 1986 (Amendment) Bill, which sought to prohibit the "promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. This bill subsequently became law as [[Section 28|Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988]], when it was reintroduced by [[David Wilshire|David Wilshire MP]] in the Commons.

==Personal life==
Graham married Margaret Golding in 1950. The couple had two sons. His wife was diagnosed with [[myotonic dystrophy]], a condition that both their sons would inherit; she died in 2005 and their sons shortly thereafter.<ref name=20200401theguardian-lord/>

Graham was a first cousin of Dr. [[Miriam Stoppard]], Lady Hogg, a physician, and her son, actor [[Ed Stoppard]], Miriam's son, as well as politician [[Oona King]], Lady Hogg's's niece.<ref>((cite web |url= https://www.thejc.com/blogs/how-is-it-for-you-1.40433|title=How is it for you? |last=Paul |first= Geoffrey|date=21 January 2010 |website= The Jewish Chronicle|access-date=2020-06-19))</ref> He was a supporter of [[Humanists UK]] and lived in [[Loughton]], Essex.
