Mo Mowlam

Ah I know - saw that today too. I'm a huge fan of Mo Mowlam - was kicking myself the brighton festival before last when I didn't book quick enough to see her talk. Wonderful woman. Fingers crossed.

I always found her to be refreshingly real and unpretentious, which is a miracle in government. People seldom get so far up the ladder without wearing several masks. My thoughts are with you, Mo.

I hope she gets well. I always like her. She was quite entertaining as an interviewee, that's for sure.

God what a shame. 55. RIP Mo.

hear hear. A great and brave politician and something of a fox in her younger years- I'm sure she wouldn't mind that being said.

She was great. A legend. She once wrote something for ABC. Perhaps it could be locxated. Can anyone find it? Sad

I just saw the sad news. She was great. In terms of ABC, I think she wrote a piece that appeared in the original print magazine at the time of the web site launch.

Integrity is a word one can seldom use to describe anyone to have worked government - but it is befitting of this marvellous, brave woman. RIP

Cook and Mowlam both gone in a week - well that's halved my list of prefered politicians :o(
