Martin Greenfield, who died Wednesday, survived the Holocaust and went on to dress Donald Trump, LeBron James and Barack Obama. He was an unofficial spokesman for why American manufacturing matters. https://t.co/zNy3pmSBfe https://t.co/zNy3pmSBfe
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Martin Greenfield, an amazing human being, a master tailor, and a beloved business owner and community champion in Brooklyn. May his memory inspire us all, and may he rest in peace. https://t.co/Rk4qcZ66MP

I worked with Paul when I was local government minister @luhc. He gave great advice when I was converting local councils to unitary authorities. A dedicated and decent man. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/DfFJU8ZZho
Martin Greenfield learned to sew in Auschwitz. He survived the Holocaust and went on to become “the best men’s tailor in America” per Vanity Fair and dressed presidents and celebrities alike. He was a proud Jewish-American. May his memory be a blessing. https://t.co/YYw7Pmuy0j
Martin Greenfield, tailor to famous people and Holocaust survivor, has passed away at 95. RIP. Hollywood should adapt his memoir, Measure of a Man, into a film. https://t.co/ldALv4qMNj

On Thursday of last week one of our very best civil servants, Paul Rowsell CBE, passed away. Paul was a wonderful colleague and the best adviser any minister could have. He was instrumental over many years in making local government work better for all. We will miss him terribly
Saw Martin Greenfield passed away. Remarkable guy. Made me one of my favorite suits. May his memory be a blessing. https://t.co/cYSfObHpVP https://t.co/QLaE1cHkDt
Paul was an outstanding public servant and I was lucky to have the pleasure to work with him. Thinking of his family. May he RIP. https://t.co/zyAmX2s26o
Really sad news about Paul. An incredibly knowledgeable man and a proper encyclopedia on devolution. He played a huge role in the creation of our new East Midlands authority, and was a source of so much support and advice. A privilege to have worked with him. https://t.co/amgVXFJV0B
It’s very fitting that @JacobYoungMP has signed the new North East Combined Authority into being as we hear of the sad loss of Paul Rowsell CBE. Paul was an outstanding public servant with whom it was a privilege to work at @luhc, and was so instrumental in effective devolution. https://t.co/K0KhBjZwX8
✍️ Today I have signed the Statutory Instrument creating a new Combined Authority for the North East, paving the way for a new Mayor in May. Congratulations to @N_landCouncil, @NewcastleCC, @NTCouncilTeam, @gateshead, @STyne_Council, @SunderlandUK, & @DurhamCouncil! #LevellingUp https://t.co/nyFT9sz7QL
Very sad to learn that Paul Rowsell CBE has died. Paul was a wonderful public servant in @luhc. He was the UK’s greatest authority on local governance, expertly delivering every devolution measure since 2010 & advising ministers for decades before that. He will be hugely missed. https://t.co/Y3cRKfqdZr
Yday NE Council Leaders & Minister came together to sign our region’s devolution deal Although sceptical about the deal which doesn’t deliver full fiscal devolution, it will give our local leaders greater autonomy on decisions best for the NE, instead of Westminster. https://t.co/hQNoXCyDxy

Beyond proud to join my friend @KiMcGuinness yesterday as she launched her campaign to be the first North East Mayor. The North East deserves change. A vote for Kim on 2 May is a vote for the future the North East deserves. 🌹👇🏻 https://t.co/tfBX3PHvp9
