In a 2022 interview with ''[[Radio Times]]'', Margolyes came to the defence of [[J. K. Rowling]], commenting that "There is a spectrum and people can be anywhere along that.

On 15 October 2022, after being interviewed by [[Justin Webb]] about the recently deceased [[Robbie Coltrane]] on BBC Radio 4's [[Today (BBC Radio 4)|''Today'']], she commented to the presenters that she had never expected to be in a seat that had just been vacated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, [[Jeremy Hunt]].

On 6 April 2024, a video by Margolyes was published by The Jewish Council of Australia criticising the Israeli government on its ongoing [[Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present)|invasion of the Gaza Strip]] and calling on Jews to "shout, beg, scream" for a ceasefire.

{{blockquote|... I have never been so ashamed of Israel as I am at this moment. To me, it seems as if Hitler has won. He's changed us Jews from being compassionate and caring and do unto others as you would have them do unto you into this vicious genocidal nationalist nation, pursuing and killing women and children. Of course, I condemn the Hamas action, of course I do. But what we are doing, Jewish people over in Israel, is shocking, embarrassing and wicked and I cannot understand why all Jewish people, particularly members of synagogues, do not want immediately to stop what is going on. And in the name of humanity, I call upon all Jews to shout, beg, scream for a ceasefire. ...}}

==In popular culture==
Author and comedian [[David Walliams]] says he used Margolyes as a model for the title character in his children's book ''[[Awful Auntie]]'' after an argument with her during a stage production, though he stressed that he has nothing against her and is a fan of her work.<ref name="Margolyes">{{cite news|first=Tim|last=Walker|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11134146/David-Walliams-Miriam-Margolyes-is-the-real-life-Awful-Auntie.html|title=David Walliams: Miriam Margolyes is the real-life Awful Auntie|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|date=2 October 2014|access-date=4 April 2018|archive-date=24 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180624235426/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11134146/David-Walliams-Miriam-Margolyes-is-the-real-life-Awful-Auntie.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
