Dame Tessa Jowell

[jimharri]

The former Labour culture secretary, passed away yesterday, aged 70. She was diagnosed with a brain tumour a year ago and had suffered a haemorrhage on friday. Apparently she played a significant part in getting the 2012 Olympics to London. She seems to have been a decent person.

Sad news. The speech she gave in the Lords last year about her condition was very moving.

RIP. That incredibly rare phrase "decent politician" comes to mind.

Indeed - respected I would think by all people - no matter their party allegiances

(Allegedly) neglected the Dulwich part of her West Norwood and Dulwich constituency according to a friend from Dulwich

a sad passing - not for who she was or what she represented more for the dignity with which she bore herself through the last year of her life. RIP Tessa Jowell
