i knew margaret thatcher, i worked for margaret thatcher.able friend ain't no margaret thatcher. pathetic! anna soubry accused some of her fellow conservatives of having whispered conversations in which they said... the loss of hundreds of thousands ofjobs will be worth it... to re—gain our country's sovereignty. you tell that to the people of my constituency. we're the country that does least well out of the european union's free trade agreements. they almost never involve services, for example, from our primary trade. this idea that somehow or other every good that comes into the eu via northern ireland and then into the republic is going to have to be stopped, it doesn't even match with common day practice. it's clear that the eu is not going to force anyone to put infrastructure up. why on earth would we add burdens to businesses that don't face them at the moment? why on earth would we make it difficult and more costly for them? as we progress to the next stage of negotiations on the future of the eu uk relationship, britain does need t

case with margaret thatcher, opinion is divided. is horrendous. it doesn't surprise me because of this town because this town worships her because they were not affected by it, they were not affected by the decisions she made. no, no, no. very proud because she isa no, no, no. very proud because she is a first lady prime minister. so it is very good. you wouldn't mind the statue? not at all. it is a waste of money. she was never an mp here, couldn't wait to get out. put it somewhere where she was an mp.” am enjoying this! supporters to bring this to grantham says it won't be costing a penny since it is funded privately. when you say she has a divisive legacy, we think about strikes, the taxes. those people who say she has a divisive legacy are correct. we want to memorialise her and be the place to tell that story. we want to be the one to demonstrate that grantham is the place you want to come if you wa nt to the place you want to come if you want to know everything you need to know about her. it is now down to local plan is to dec

going onto the guardian, how margaret thatcher blacklisted subversive civil servants.from the past, you would think, again, i'm not surprised this happened in hindsight. a secret blacklist of its own civil servants who were thought to be subversives so that they could be kept under observation. this is the national archives disclosing this today. and also to be kept away from computers and revenue collection rolls. i don't know what that would protect us from but anyway. 733 individuals, the majority are identified as trotskyists, while a further 607 we re trotskyists, while a further 607 were listed as communist. it gets better, 45 were said to be fascists and 35 were described as welsh or scottish nationalists... kevin. black or asian racial extremists or anarchists. black or asian racial extremists. i wasn't sure about that either. sounds very strange. does it surprise you that there was a list, kevin? not really in the fact that most of the ones who came under suspicion were of the left, perhaps doesn't surprise me given margaret thatcher's government. i'm sure the

and then there are man who are husbands and leaders like angela merkel or margaret thatcher what do you think it's their role in all of that i mean can you really be a macho alpha male when your wife pretty much runs top of the free world. it's entirely possible that they didn't want to show male. i believe that. both of these women are very high testosterone women there are matter of fact they're let's get it done is entirely possible when they fell in love they fell in love with somebody who didn't just wanted to be a supportive partner or wouldn't have worked out. you know when i study personality people are very high testosterone tend to choose people who are high estrogen who want to be supportive who want to be nurturing who want to think long term and who want to be a helpmate so it's money against their two very high testosterone people are not likely to make a very strong marriage and are not likely to go into politics together so i'm not surprised that. that that sharon angle or merkel of i mean angela merkel i think she's a physics or chemical i don't know she got a ph d. in

the emergency has been margaret thatcher's husband didn't want to play the supportive role they would have left there is sort of these days it may be hard to leave because you know. i want to tell you once you are cast in the role it doesn't look too good for the further has been who left you yeah. yeah you know oh dear and you know your i'm going to go somewhere else i want to do physics and you want to run the world forget it no they both picked men who wanted to be supportive of them and indeed were because both women have been very effective. there's something else i want to talk to you about there's a survey by german saucy ologist which says that there is a direct connection between politicians good looks and the votes they get so are we with the wording the same way we swiped and or. and why isn't george clooney president then. we're going to have more than good looks and good looks always are useful when i put people into a brain scanner we know the little factory that lights up when you look at a good looking face it's a it's a factory that put pumps out and dopamine and give

i've been told that on one occasion, he interjected on a conversation with margaret thatcher that shelet him say something!" laughter. my noble lords will have appreciated his great capacity to advise and persuade. like so many others, i look back to that decision at the start of the falklands conflict in 1982 to resign from the position he held as foreign secretary. i saw this then and still do as a prime example of the very high standards that he set for himself in his public life. it was indeed the first time that his name came to my attention and although that was 36 years ago, i have never forgotten the occasion. during those rather tedious meetings of the council in brussels, he was wont to write limericks about some of those around the table. and when he left the foreign office, we collected them together and gave them, to remind him that there were some useful moment at least spent in brussels. laughter. the last time i remember him very much in the thatcher government, not for long, before he resigned, we were attending a cabinet committee, attended by the chairman of the coa

talking to the two committees that doesn't mean actually march because still as it happened with margaret thatcher in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine hundred ninety. two then the then she went to paris. there was no vote of no confidence which she lost the vote of no confidence so let's actually watch the next less than twenty four hours actually say this was the twelve hours or at least until tomorrow morning if that vote of no confidence does come around would somebody really be able to bring the two warring sides together someone else in her place. depends how quickly that will happen i mean if you lose the vote of no confidence then you will have the people who put their names and that would be depends again how. many rounds and they are obviously the borders has been waiting to jump on number ten these no other moment in history but this moment just many people have been tweeting seeing the you. don't measure with actually the worst prime minister but. she actually claims this cruel and now i think the what might also swing many people who would have been either neutral or support the n

he famously resigned from margaret thatcher's government when argentine forces invaded the falkland islands recalled lord carrington‘s poetic talents. the last time i remember working with him, which wasn't very long, because he resigned, we attended a cabinet committee that was attended by the chairman of the coal board, lord marshall. he wrote very good limericks, he went on and on, the noble lord marshall of goring is frightfully, frightfully boring. when we come to 20 to one i think i'll have sounds of snoring. in 2008, lord carrington took bbc parliament on a guided tour of one part of the palace of westminster. this was the king's robing room. where the house of lords sat in 1945 because the house of commons trainbearer had been bombed, and the house of commons sat in the house of lords and the house of lords was relegated to the kings robing room, which, as you can see, is not very big. but in those days the house of lords was pretty small and it accommodated everybody without too much difficulty. lord carrington. now let's take a look at the wider world of politics. here'sjess ure w

the single market was constructed by margaret thatcher.ussels long after the uk have left, acknowledging that. if there was, i'm going. it was just a slip of the tongue. when donald trump, standing next to vladimir putin, their news conference beamed live around the world, said "i don't see any reason why it would be russia" trying to interfere in the 2016 us presidential election, he "mis—spoke". what he actually meant to say was, "i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia". so barack 0bama can't have been thinking of his successor when he denounced "shameless leaders who, caught in a lie, just double down and lie some more." polly, how much damage has this done, notjust to president trump, but potentially to america? every time he opens his mouth, it does huge damage to america. it does huge damage to global politics in a more profound way, that the lie, being able to say everything is fake news, is beginning to catch on. there is a whole right—wing network that has spread right across europe. we had a small demonstration here las

, because they knew not just heath or margaret thatcher, because they knew notjust that he was i interviewed him a few times, he was a lovely man, straightforward and waspish and i think the reason, one reason he survived so long was because he was a clear we could never be prime minister so prime ministers knew he was never a threat and they also knew he had a strong sense of service within the inner workings of political parties over the years, there have been people in whom ambition is everything but because his ambition was modest, even though he had huge talents as a politician, the fact that he was a soldier, a diplomat, a farmer, he had an appointment in australia when he was high commissioner, so a man of many parts but he could always, he was a useful person to have in their cabinet and will be hugely missed. thank you, james, and david cameron has paid tribute, saint peter carrington was a lovely man and a great public servant. it was a great honour having him to chequers and listening to his stories of every political leader from winston churchill on word. also, all
