Margaret McDonagh Obituary

British politician, Margaret McDonagh has died after years of battling brain cancer at the age of 61. Her death occurred at her home in Colliers Wood, London, Saturday, June 23, 2o23.

Tributes have been pouring in after her death was announced.

“Margaret was a tour de force. She ran Millbank in 1997 with a rod of iron. Everyone was terrified, including me. I have never met anyone so resolute, so uncompromisingly honest and so direct. She almost never made it to the high command in the early 1990s. But once she arrived there was no going back,”  Mandelson said.

“Margaret may not have been as famous as some of the politicians she worked with but they wouldn’t have got into power without her. Both inside and outside of the Labour Party, Margaret was a tireless champion for women, mentoring a whole generation of political and business leaders,” Labour Party leader, Keir Starmer also shared.
