I was sad to see that Marion Miliband died aged 91 on 27th May.
The partner of the late Marxist theorist Ralph Miliband and mother of David and Ed Miliband.
She was well known as an activist in her own right from CND to Jews For Justice for Palestinians
There are numerous references to her in Tony Benn’s Diaries. Below is an edited passage from 10th December 2000
Hilary picked me up and we went to Marion Miliband’s for dinner with David and Edward Miliband. David is still at Number 10 and Edward is at Number 11 (Downing St)… We had a very amusing dinner. I was keen not to be provocative in anyway. The boys live entirely in the world of the Prime Ministers advisors (Tony Blair)…I had this terrible cold and I’ve got a blood shot eye which makes me look utterly grotesque and Marion insisted on putting a cold teabag on my eyelid.
