Lady Thatcher must have been under pressure by this stage, especially looking at the faces of her front bench, and yet she put on a fearless performance. She is perfectly correct: who wants to create wealth here when so much has to be immediately relinquished? Therefore the poor just get poorer. Even I understand this, a comment I direct to the Member of Parliament for North Southwark and Bermondsey, the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats, the Rt. Hon. Simon Hughes MP.
I remember hearing the "I'm enjoying this" clip at the time - probably on Radio 4 News. It was all very sad. She put on a brave face, but she must have been heart-broken.
Her worst days were better than Gordon's best.
ReplyDeleteI don't miss her, but, much like Blair, she was good at what she did.

ReplyDeleteMeasured, if I understand it correctly this was PMQs on the day she quit.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing woman. She fought the Conservatives' fight.

Wasn't it her speech during the Confidence debate, which ended up being held after she had announced her resignation?
