More on Tessa Jowell
Description from Wikipedia:
Tessa Jowell (born 17 September 1947 in London) is a British politician. She is the Labour MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, and is currently Paymaster General.
She is also Minister for the Olympics, a role she initially combined with being Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport following the selection of London to host the 2012 Olympic Games. She was demoted in June 2007 when Tony Blair resigned as Prime Minister to be succeeded by Gordon Brown. This resulted in her losing her department, much of her ministerial brief, and her right to automatically sit in the Cabinet.
