Mildred Gordon represented Bow & Poplar (the eastern half of Tower Hamlets) from 1987 to 1997. She was never afraid of speaking up for socialism.
“The mark of a civilised society is that it is one in which people can expect to be decently housed and clothed, to have enough to eat and to have access to healthcare and to education for their children.”
Mildred Gordon, Labour MP for Bow & Poplar, Maiden Speech in the House of Commons, 1987
