	Telegraph \| News \| Mo Mowlam
		Mo Mowlam, who died yesterday aged 55, was the most popular minister of the New Labour government, a politician with the "common touch" who was once spoken of as a potential future prime minister.
		Throughout her political career, Mo Mowlam behaved as a free spirit, refusing to be confined to a message or to a code of behaviour.
		Mo Mowlam was sworn of the Privy Council in 1997.

	Mo Mowlam dies at 55 - World - theage.com.au
		Mowlam was admitted to King's College Hospital in London earlier this month, reportedly after hitting her head in a fall.
		Mowlam was one of Britain's most popular politicians, admired by the public for her willingness to speak frankly, her bravery in fighting the brain tumour and her role in Northern Ireland's peace process.
		In a 2002 memoir, Mowlam said she quit the government and politics partly because Blair's advisers were spreading rumours that her battle with a brain tumour had left her intellectually unfit.

	Mo Mowlam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was born in Watford, England, the daughter of an alcoholic father, but grew up in Coventry, where her father rose to become Coventry's assistant postmaster, and she would later be awarded the Freedom of the City in 1999.
		Mowlam's supporters briefed she was the only figure with sufficient popularity to challenge Livingstone, but the episode did nothing for either the Labour Party or Mowlam.
		Five months before the 1997 General Election which returned Labour to office, Mowlam was diagnosed with a brain tumour, a fact she tried to keep secret until the tabloid press started to print jibes about her appearance.

	Mo's woes - [Sunday Herald]
		Mowlam found that although the IRA had been involved in murder and a gun running operation in the USA, the ceasefire was intact.
		Mowlam's decision was apparently based on reports from British intelligence that the IRA had no intention of returning to "military oper a tions".
		Mowlam could do nothing else in her statement on the ceasefire than bizarrely agree with Sir Ronnie that the IRA were murdering, and simultaneously declare the ceasefire intact.

		Mo Mowlam was one of the most popular politicians of her generation, for her plain-speaking, charismatic style, and for carrying on in politics after being diagnosed with cancer in 1997.
		Ms Mowlam had been an MP since 1983, and had been shadow Northern Ireland secretary in opposition; she took the cabinet job when Labour was elected.
		One of Mowlam's most celebrated exploits as she worked on the Northern Ireland peace process was a visit to the Maze prison to convince loyalist prisoners such as Stone to support the process.

		CABINET CO-ORDINATOR Mo Mowlam's calls for democratic reforms were hailed yesterday by Charter88 as far-sighted and in touch with what the public is demanding.

		"Ms Mowlam's call for a written constitution 'to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of different tiers of government' must be a first in modern Britain, certainly from a member of the cabinet.

	BBC NEWS \| Northern Ireland \| Political tributes to Mo Mowlam
		However, Mo Mowlam will be remembered fondly by the vast majority of Irish people and I would extend my thoughts and sympathies to her husband Jon and the rest of her family at this time.
		Mo had a natural feel for this place and in many ways had her own constituency here, so when she came to office she had more than what other secretaries of state had.
		Mo came in and within five minutes, she had her feet up on the table and was resting back on the chair and this was an introduction to a very unconventional politician.

		Britain's former Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlam, a colorful politician who played a pivotal role in the province's peace process, died in a hospice south of London on Friday.
		When talks among the province's fractious parties got particularly tough, Mowlam used to remove the wig she wore after grueling treatment on her tumor took its toll on her hair, and put it beside her on the table.
		Mowlam's plain speaking landed her in trouble at times -- as when she suggested, while in opposition, that the British royal family should hand Buckingham Palace over to the public.

		Mo was always supportive of the establishment and efforts of the Women's Coalition, for which the party - and more importantly its electorate - will remain eternally grateful.
		Northern Ireland is a much better place for having known Mo Mowlam - and NI politicians, in particular, are better politicians and will be even better politicians, if we learn from and incorporate Mo's characteristics of integrity, passion, social justice and, of course, good and unconventional humour.
		Among Mo Mowlam's many contributions, her support for lesbian and gay rights should not be forgotten.

		Marjorie "Mo" Mowlam, Labour MP between 1987-2001 and the Northern Ireland secretary who managed to create an atmosphere for peace leading to the landmark Good Friday Agreement in 1998, died last Friday aged 55.
		Her courage and determination were exhibited during the build-up to the Good Friday Agreement, when -- in defiance of advisors -- Mowlam bravely visited prisoners convicted of terrorist offences in the Maze Prison and authorised the early release of some of them.
		The fact that she was fighting a brain tumour and the visible impacts of radiotherapy on her at the time of the talks gave her achievement more significance.

	New Statesman: Mo Mowlam: the Oprah Winfrey of Ulster, huggy-kissy Mo has won over the nationalists - but can she keep ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Mowlam, 49, is hailed as a secular saint because she is seen to have succeeded in bringing peace to Northern Ireland in her term of office.
		In keeping the media on her side, Mowlam has, outside of Northern Ireland and the Republic, managed to suppress until now the vast ambivalence of the government's position in the Agreement, and the sickening gulf that is opening up between pledges and delivery on the part of the IRA.
		Yet Mowlam, being the friendly chew-the-fat, open-door secretary of state, has shown nationalists and republicans a different style of British politician - a huggy-kissy figure who treats them as if they all were on a TV personal-revelation show, a kind of Oprah Winfrey of Ulster.

	Mo Mowlam, former British Northern Ireland secretary, dies at 55
		Mowlam, a member of Prime Minister Tony Blair's first Labour government, died on Friday at a hospice in Canterbury, southeast England, a week after she was transferred from a London hospital.
		Mowlam was the second member of Blair's original government to die this month, after former foreign secretary Robin Cook -- who quit the cabinet in 2003 in protest over the Iraq war -- collapsed while hill climbing in his native Scotland.
		Mowlam's reputation for blunt honesty and outspokenness did not abate after she left the Commons, saying it was "harder and harder to defend what the Labour government is doing".
