Tony Benn is in the hospital after feeling unwell.

Benn, a former Labour MP, “was taken into hospital on Wednesday afternoon on the advice of his GP after feeling unwell,” a family spokesman told BBC.

“He is resting comfortably.”

Benn, 88, was a Labour MP for 50 years.

Members of the Benn family are “popping in and out” to see Tony.

Benn’s wife Caroline died of cancer in 2000.
