Glasgow life
lAl KS MO MOWLAM Royal Concert Hall, Wed 29 May
Did you know that Mo Mowlam’s first name is Marjorie? Did you know that she is married to an artist who paints in the nude in the garden shed? These are some of the facts you might discover when Mowlam visits Glasgow to talk about her life as a cabinet minister and secretary of state for Northern Ireland. Even if you don’t get the full details of her private life, you will certainly come out knowing a lot more about her views on the present Labour Government and some of the characters in it.
Mowlam was first elected to parliament in 1987 and soon became one of the most popular members of the Government, a fact that she believes turned Tony Blair against her. As secretary of state for Northern Ireland, she worked hard towards the IRA cease-fire with the involvement of Sinn Fein, but was replaced in 1999 by Peter Mandelson. According to Mowlam, Mandelson is one of the people who, along with Alastair Campbell and Jonathan Powell, she believes orchestrated a whispering campaign to discredit her in the government, a government she also accuses of using ‘vicious, violent and horrible behaviour’ towards her.
She will be discussing her autobiography, Momentum, in which she looks at the way she was dealt with after admitting to having treatment for a brain tumour. She’ll also be talking about the tense and ‘destructive’ relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. If you ever wanted to know the truth behind the doors of number 10 then this is the straight talking lady who will dish the dirt. (Jane Hamilton)
