biggest break was when i got a telephone call from silk suppliers who wanted beauty wherefore margaret thatchergn everything it in—house. everything is made in britain. i always use the best suppliers of fabrics. we used silk from china, india, france, and good old yorkshire. the world's finest cashmere. british suppliers are using brexit to put up prices. no one else around the world even mentions it. i think because i have beenin mentions it. i think because i have been in business for 27 years, i cannot see that brexit is going to affect the way i trade with anyone. with brexit, i do think it is going to bea with brexit, i do think it is going to be a good thing. i can only see it opens up a much wider world. it would be wonderful if we can generate better trading agreements with asia and other parts of the world. we... ifind, personally, it is easy to deal with traders from other parts of the world. i think britain needs to get its act together. i think the worst trouble for us as we are together. i think the worst trouble for us 3s we are not together. i think the worst trouble for us as w

in the end that means taking on the unions, putting him in a thatcher like position.e way that he appeared, straight after on the podium, as you just saw him, saying that he would protect you, reminding me of margaret thatcher. and then letting the dogs loose. the french hoping never to have to vote for an extremist candidate again. what does it mean that they have a new centrist party? john: a centrist party, but it is an interesting thing in that he got 24%, 25% on the first round. that was only 3%, 4% ahead of on behind him. those kinds of things got in the way. basically, france voted for some kind of change. it's very interesting, we talk about macron as if he was a established candidate, but he was a backroom boy. ago for couple of years making the quick that france was like cuba without the sunshine. he was someone you went to go see if you wanted to discover how to do the economy in france. he was a technocrat. suddenly to go from that to is an enormous escalation, especially in france, where there is this sense that you have to wait your turn. a bit like a lo

not like this, if you talk of over 200, it is more than margaret thatcher would have got, more than tony are nudging i—party state 1997 landslide so you are nudging 1— party state and 1997 landslide so you are nudging i—party state and i think the voters ought to think twice about allowing something like that to happen. what about labour in 1945, massive majority. 0k, long time ago. tony blair had some big majorities. but if the polls are right, she will outstrip tony blair is 1997 majority. i do not think a huge majority. i do not think a huge majority is a terribly good idea. it is something voters ought to be wary of and also some of the promises she has made have proved not to be worth trusting so you have to also think about whether or not you want a prime minister who can do anything she wants. a quick look at the sunday times, one story which is interesting is attack dogs would be used to protect parliament under plans being drawn up after the terror attack on westminster a few weeks ago, attack dogs to guard parliament. yeah, dogs at the gate. they have been trying to come up wit

people who like margaret thatcher will be attracted to this idea.s very little, if you watch interviews, she can't offer half an hour and say very little, so one statement like that that is slightly swearing, suddenly it is the most interesting thing is she has said all week. does it mean that everyone is to become a sailor over the next six—week, turn the air blue then keep the front pages at the? she has got horace for that. -- she has got borisjohnson for got horace for that. -- she has got boris johnson for that. got horace for that. -- she has got boris johnson for that. all the eu sources are coming out, and there was a report in the german newspaper, and now every news outlet, the bbc as well, going to their own sources and saying, how difficult will you make it for britain? jean—claude juncker and others, it is almost as if he is trying to undermine her election pitch. mrs may's official spokesman told lobby journalist pitch. mrs may's official spokesman told lobbyjournalist this morning when asked, theresa may will be in charge of the talks

i remember telling our son thatcher. i said thatcher, what do we say to police officers? and i was thinking that his response would be thank you. and i said, you should go tell him that. and i said you should go tell that to the police officer. and he walked up to the police officer and he got a little nervous, 4 years old. i said what do you say, thatcher? again i was thinking he would say thank you. instead he looked up at this police officer and he said, you're a hero. it kind of choked me up a little bit. i didn't say that to him. that was something that this 4-year-old knew instinctively, knew from the work they had done around the communities, the conversations he's been a part of, at 4 years old knows the work that they do to protect us. and they are heroes. they show the highest amount of courage one can imagine. they run toward danger without hesitation to keep us safe and to protect our communities. and we ask an incredible amount of our law enforcement and time and time again they are answering the call, whether that's a call wondering why somebody's -- somebod

thatcher?ou. so, theresa may there having launched the conservative party manifesto. the chancellor, borisjohnson, there, we have not seen much of him so far in this election campaign. amber rudd, home secretary, all in attendance. here it is, the new conservative manifesto. the slogan there inaudible the home secretary, all in attendance. the new conservative, if she is elected on the 8th ofjune. a lot of detail but much more to come, all of those journalists use or assembled in the room will be reading through this furiously. —— that you just saw. more reaction through the afternoon. this was a pitch to ordinary families. rules on executive pay and a good focus on generational fairness. executive pay and a good focus on generationalfairness. she talks about a generationalfairness. she talks aboutafair generationalfairness. she talks about a fair society and their worldly —— there will be losers when it comes to that. the triple lock for pensioners will go, and a number of conservative party p
