Denis Winston Healey, Baron Healey, (30 August 1917 – 3 October 2015), was a British Labour Party politician who served as Secretary of State for Defence from 1964 to 1970, Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1974 to 1979 and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party from 1980 to 1983. He was a Member of Parliament for 40 years (from 1952 until his retirement in 1992) and was the last surviving member of the cabinet formed by Harold Wilson after the Labour Party's victory in the 1964 general election.
A major figure in the party, he was defeated for the party leadership in 1976 and 1980. To the public at large, Healey became well known for his bushy eyebrows and his creative turns of phrase.
