Dame Tessa Jowell RIP

Yes RIP. A very 'sensible' lady. The BBC have the  speech she made to the House of Lords in January in their obituary, on cancer care, for which she got a minutes ovation - extremely rare. Basically she talked about living with cancer rather than dying from cancer. Thoughts are with her family. Her legacy bringing the 2012 😉 London Olympics will probably be what she's best remembered for.

She had an interesting life, took on challenges and gave back a lot, a sad loss.

Yes Moulesy. I agree totally. 

Yet  another  of  those  brave people,  who,  while  undergoing  severe treatments  for  a  catastrophic  illness,  chose  not  to  go  into  her  shell .   She  chose,  instead,  to  continue  to  support  very  publicly  her  own  ideals  in  the  hope  they  will  gain  even  more  support.

R.I.P. Brave  Lady.

  I completely forgot to include her pioneering the Sure Start programme, my daughter won't forgive me 😔. But I suspect it will be the London Olympics. Listening to Harriet Harman on their early days in the house with a young family,  Tessa Jowell wouldn't sleep 2 nights a week to ensure she gave to her children as well as her work.
