    Always sad to see a person pass away at such an age. She was a breath of fresh air that the north needed imho at the time. She was never afraid to say what was on her mind.

    RIP.

    I'm shocked, for such a great woman and politician to pass away at such a young age.
    She had honesty, integrity, intelligence and strength.

    We may never see her like in Politics for a long time.

    RIP

    It's sad that she worked so hard yet the same old farts are still argueing about the same old thing.
    Thanks Mo

    A great woman. In two weeks we've lost a man of principle and a women of fun from politics in Britain. We need more like both of them. May Mo rest in peace.

    R.I.P Mo!

    Saw an interview with her on (i think) Jonathon Ross and she truly had a great sense of humour and an amazing personality.

    You can pay tribute to Mo on the BBC website here. The world'd be a better place if we had more politicians like her. Rest in peace Mo.

    Also a wonderful sense of conviction, and courage to continue her work as best as possible in spite of the overwhelming odds against her, both in politics and life.

    The first person I ever noticed that seemed to genuinely give a damn about the people she worked with and worked for. An amazing politician, and a great loss.

    A sad day for the British Isles. I rank her up there with bill clinton, david trimble and john hume. as the people that made the difference in the Northern Ireland peace process in the mid ninetys. On another topic her articles in zoo magazine i will also miss.

    A great lady, May she rest in peace.

    After I texted my mate the sad news he sent back:
    "Robin Cook... Mo Mowlam... Superman...
    Why do all the good ones die young?"

    Aptly put.
