Major would never have become PM were it not for Howe and Heseltine. In 1990 Maggie topped the poll but under the arcane rules at the time was 4 votes short of total victory. She was persuaded by rats like Clarke that she would lose the next ballot. She should have fought on and no doubt triumphed.

You won't get anything but frivolities and nonsense on here if you are a Labour voter. AB is the old folks home of outraged, blue-rinse Tories. You only have to look at the proposed voting pattern on the opening page of AB to confirm that.
Twatcher was a despotic, tyrannical traitor who was full of vindictiveness towards working people. Her statue should be torn down and weighed in, then her family should compensate the govt for the cost of her funeral.
she was one of our best PM's, this country was down the toilet and she managed with some help to get us out of the mess we were in, you should read something other than the Morning Star
I disliked her intensely , me coming from a mining community,however, she was one of the strongest PMs in history and would have shown those in the EU why she was called the Iron Lady ,
