God, Mo’s missed - what a woman, respected to this day across the island of Ireland for her no-nonsense approach to tackling the entrenched idiots on all sides of the split in the North. May she Rest In Peace.
No she biased to republicans
The great mo, nobody could have done it but you. Trusted and loved by people who lived north and south of the border in Ireland. The epitaph is yours mo! Wonderful woman x
What a PM she would have made, remarkable woman.
From an Irish perspective, she's the best Britain has ever produced. Adored and missed in Ireland after all this time. Thank you for everything.
what a girl ! if only we we had her now
Well we now have the statue of Diana on display. Where is Mo’s? She deserves far more recognition for setting the example of how politics should behave. Bless you, Mo!
What a woman! Head & shoulders above any politician at Westminster in 2022.
#Hero
Mo would have made a greater second female PM than May
What an enlightened person she was. She seems so down to earth and fair. RIP Mo

My Mo is missed. What a truly inspiring woman and politician.
I met this gorgeous woman . Face to face . I was doing stewarding at a Unison conference in the late nineties. There was s card vote called . We could not let people into the hall . She tried to get in. I said ..' No , sorry you can't come in . It's s card vote . ' I didn't realize at first who she was . I was like , No You Can't enter during a card vote . She was lovely !!!!! She apologised for trying to get in . Sorry. Sorry . Mo was just so nice amd normal. And I didn't let her in . Even when I suddenly cottened who she was. But what I felt about Mo that day was : ..That is a home spun woman of true class . True class. She spoke to me like a colleague . Like..a mate .
She made my day . I had nothing but thee highest respect for her. A lot ot the delegates there behaved like they were a higher human form . They were dicks , basically. End of . Mo was a beautiful being . No airs and graces!! A pure honest soul . Sort of the first order. 🏅🏅🏆🏆💕
I know those types are the best ones she was adorable and took no prisoners.
Quite a character. They don't make them like that anymore
Mo did all the hard work and Blair the slimeball took all the credit for himself
I always felt that was true. It seemd as if, once the breakthrough was made, Mo was shoved aside.
He appointed her motherfucker and moved both sides to the position of even being willing to sign any agreement. He doesnt take sole fucking credit ever, just lists it as one of the good things the Labour government did. Feel free to find an example but it seems you just don't like the guy, and are willing to lie because of it.
She was out on her own she did something that Thatcher would never do and she was dying from a tumour as well which was a credit to her she pulled off the impossible secured peace in the North of Ireland she was brilliant may she rest in peace well respected across Ireland North and South
I agree. Thatchers uncompromising nature was far too extreme and greatly inflamed the Troubles for decades to come. To add salt to the wound, behind all this toughness, her government was negotiating in secret with the IRA, so what was the point of it all? She really dug the knife deep into Ulster. Whereas Mo while uncompromising she was facilitiating and willing to listen to what the other side had to say.
What a fucking strong ass woman
I'm just learning about her, she seemed like a really good person, and a good politician too
Everyone but Mo is now trying to take the credit for this peace agreement...its needs to be more investigated and would be a fascinating documentary each players roll so its set in history who did what when...
Mo Nowlan and Tony Blair brought peace to Northern Ireland.
Mo molan was a legend
She should have called her book "False Momentum and Evil Decadent Peace Process".
The irony, she still got more done in her short tenure than any other NI secretary would ever go on to achieve.
Best of all time
Like seamus mallin very unique open minded people
Mo mowlam was honest. She done her best to bring Irish unity. At the end of the day she was overruled. Rest in peace 🙏
She forgot who to be loyal to
If there was ever someone to "bring back" to help the situation its Mo even if it is in ghost form. She would scare the crap out of the DUP :))))
Paxton has no respect for Mowlam’s successes in a violent, oppressive internal war. Who has done better. Certainly not one of her peers - like Poodle Blair or Mandelson or Brown (much less the ones who followed.)
Great woman. She didn't deserve to be stabbed in the back , by Blair.
Sorry spelling bee slap !!!!! MOWLAM!
Famous for killing off human obstacles
Ordered and gloated over killing of a loyalist prisoner...
Criminal ordered death of loyalist..
I am just going to have to say again ...I Love MO MOWLEM .
I wonder what she would make of thee very strange and irritating debacle that is Brexit . This steaming pile of wonderment . This charade. And it is/was /is a charade !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👺 I wonder what Mo would have made of all of this. The best ones have gone . Mo . Tony Benn. Rodney Bickerstaff. Strange times.
Seamus mallin!!
