WANTAGE MP Ed Vaizey has paid tribute to the late Dame Tessa Jowell, who died aged 70 at the weekend.
Tweeting a picture of himself with the Labour cabinet minister - who was widely liked across party lines in Westminster and credited with numerous achievements - Mr Vaizey wrote: “So sorry to hear that Tessa Jowell has died. An inspirational person, a great Culture Secretary, and the woman who brought us the Olympics. She will be missed, as she had so much more to give.”
