Probably an underachiever. Could have done more in the Labour Party and obviously the SDP never reached the halls of office as per initial predictions. Seemed liked a nice person. RIP.

Yes, an assessment with which the elderly Williams might have agreed with herself. But in some ways though, she was the sort of media friendly politician who was ahead of their time in that respect.

Almost rejoined the Labour party after Blair became leader, it is credibly claimed.

Wasn’t she married to Bernard Williams? Must have been some house to grow up in

She was I believe.

And had quite an "interesting" private life more generally.
