Ulitzer95 12,563 Posted June 15, 2023 Glenda's death means that 11 of the Blair Babes have now died. Audrey Wise (1932–2000) Mo Mowlam (1949–2005) Rachel Squire (1954–2006) Fiona Jones (1957–2007) Gwyneth Dunwoody (1930–2008) Christine Butler (1943–2017) Candy Atherton (1955–2017) Tessa Jowell (1947–2018) Alice Mahon (1937–2022) Janet Anderson (1949–2023) Glenda Jackson (1936–2023) 90 remain. Who's next? My hunch is on Ann Clwyd (b. 1937) who I know had health problems before standing down as an MP in 2019. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad252 803 Posted June 15, 2023 There was speculation going round as to why Dan Hodges (her son) had gone strangely quiet in the last couple of weeks, both for the Mail on Sunday and on Twitter, which coincided with all the latest news around Boris Johnson. This latest news probably answers that question. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other strong contenders are Diane Abbott who seems to have some health issues (I get a sudden death vibe from her) and Llin Golding who is 90 now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ann Clwyd would be a unique hit for me in the DDP if you are correct...! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
