it was margaret thatcher. at the location, thatcher.on, the the where it was the time, the era where it was done and it would give it context. i'm sure that if you saw punch and judy in ireland at a certain time, it would have british figures british political figures depicted villain. it's depicted as the villain. so it's not that we the museum not saying that we the museum has an opinion on thatcher and is endorsing that opinion for other people to join them. it's talking about the evolution of humour and different kinds humour and the different kinds of depiction there is of it. when you pick a classic, a classic piece of art like punch and judy. >> that fair? >> is that fair? >> is that fair? >> is that fair? >> i don't think it is fair. i think that i, you know , to we're think that i, you know, to we're very good. the british at laughing at ourselves. you know, it's something we do traditionally extremely well and spitting image was a fantastic show in which everyone was equally belittled, but what they've done here is put margare

thatcher, meanwhile , the ladies thatcher, meanwhile, the ladies not for turning .ust evil, isn't it? the v&a museum headed up by ex labour mp tristram hunt. no coincidence there. it's now facing calls to have its public funding axed. but what do you think? is margaret thatcher a hero or a villain? let me know your thoughts. email me gb views at gb news. com tweet me at gb news. and while you're there, make sure you vote in our poll. i'll a i'll bring you the results in a few short but look who few short minutes. but look who better debate this now than better to debate this now than maggie's former aide, nigel gardiner and author and broadcaster thank broadcaster jenny barnett. thank you much. great to have you you very much. great to have you both on show at nile. i'll both on the show at nile. i'll start with you. your thoughts that margaret thatcher being put on the same pedestal as hitler and laden . and bin laden. >> patrick, thank you for having me on the show today. it's absolutely outrageous what you've just described with the v&a museum. it's an insult. it

thatcher. on the right are a bit sceptical of her because of her on the trans issue, it her views on the trans issue, it seems though of them are seems as though some of them are coming . the other good coming around. the other good thing mordaunt, as thing about penny mordaunt, as far are far as the conservatives are concerned , is that has very concerned, is that she has very little may be little to lose. she may be willing to put herself forward before election before a general election because because she has a very small majority. once the boundanes small majority. once the boundaries have been changed and on current predictions, she is likely to lose her seat at a general election. so she might be one of the few people willing to head above the to put her head above the parapet a general parapet before a general election. that said, obviously the risk with that is that they do put penny mordaunt in place of rishi sunak before the election and she loses her seat for sitting prime minister

so conceived and born in 1979, whereas i was alert when thatcher was elected , and it was thatcher was elected, and it was pretty much on my 14th birthday. >> was it really? yeah >> was it really? yeah >> so that was may, wasn't it? may the 3rd. and this is what they're talking about. so britain faces 1979 moment rachel reeves , today reeves will argue today, today being and tuesday being tomorrow and tuesday as she a labour she vows that a labour government would work with businesses a decade of businesses to create a decade of national renewal. so she's pointing back to 1979. obviously, thatcher came in in may and 1979 was the end of this kind of terrible decade , in kind of terrible decade, in terms of the economy for the 19705, terms of the economy for the 1970s, obviously it's brilliant for music and all sorts of other cultural yeah, and then cultural reasons. yeah, and then of course, we went into the 80s and there was huge boom, and there was this huge boom, and there was this huge boom, and you know, blazers. >> and interesting though, >> and it's interesting though, because ,

thatcher. we've got to go on with the closures that the labour government started. government have started. no, scargill it . as scargill wasn't having it. as a result, he smashed the coal industry. it became non—productive and he closed it down. isn't it odd, amy? down. but now isn't it odd, amy? sorry, just let me finish. it's an odd at a museum called the victoria and albert. victoria, named after queen victoria , named after queen victoria, probably the greatest living woman politic or monarch we've ever had. should be associated with this disgusting barb against mrs. thatcher, who frankly, saved this country from bankruptcy when jim callaghan left power, the country was going down the tubes and we would have become what greece became ten years later. >> i think when people remember margaret thatcher, they think of deindustrialisation, privatisation , which perhaps in privatisation, which perhaps in the short tum did save the country from bankruptcy, as you say, however, set in motion this

but let us not forget what margaret thatcher did . she created big thatcher did.wed many to buy shares to many of us to buy shares to become she allowed us become wealthy. she allowed us to our own house. to buy our own council house. she's the mother of entrepreneurship, opinion, she's the mother of entthe'eneurship, opinion, she's the mother of entthe basisship, opinion, she's the mother of entthe basis that opinion, she's the mother of entthe basis that she opinion, she's the mother of entthe basis that she created on, on the basis that she created that wealth, so you know how we can say that she was a villain when, as i say, she's one of political histories , heroes political histories, heroes without any shadow of a doubt. she had conviction and as famously of course, was the woman not for turning as it's just unfortunate she's not around now because i think she put current politicians to shame. don't you? >> yeah, but but the reality with this russell and you only have to look at david to, to epitomise that really is the fact that. yes, i mean she, she did t

thatcher the thatcher have? which was part of her political personality, and she used remember used that. i mean, you remember the tank that liz the image on the tank that liz truss so i think it's truss recreated? so i think it's ill phrased. i think it's perfectly legitimate that perfectly legitimate to say that mrs. thatcher was a controversial and appeared in a punch and judy. controversial and appeared in a purshe|nd judy. controversial and appeared in a purshe would y. controversial and appeared in a purshe would be absolutely >> she would be absolutely called controversial. >> i would >> exactly. but i would not have put alongside those those put her alongside those those two evil men. >> no. >> no. >> ridiculous, right. >> it's ridiculous, right. should we talk about lloyds bank and that we can't use and the fact that we can't use the before we do, the word widows before we do, let let tell you, we're let me let me tell you, we're reaching peak exasperation. let me tell what of our me tell you what some

i joined because thatcher. because of margaret thatcher.y much my outlook on life now is rishi sunak a real conservative? yes, he is, i think he is. but if think absolutely. he is. but if you look at what he's had to deal with, we've had covid where we spent 400 billion. that is really, really restricting what he do in terms cuts he can do in terms of tax cuts and keeping inflation down. so i do think you have give people do think you have to give people a chance there. but a bit of a chance there. but we've also got to be realistic with constraints that with those constraints that we're working within. but certainly, very certainly, you know, as a very blue i've blue blooded conservative, i've been a member for 25 years now. >> my whole adult life, people can guess how old i am at home, probably with but yeah, probably with that, but yeah, i think i think that's the thing, really. pull really. conservatives pull together and i think the public have seen us not pulling together. and that's why our polling as bad as it i've polling is as bad

is her inner margaret thatcher.nd of margaret thatcher, the kind of woman labour woman that labour want to emulate ? emulate? >> well, i think what rachel said was that we're at a turning point, and that's absolutely right . and you don't have to right. and you don't have to agree with everything that margaret thatcher did . i margaret thatcher did. i certainly don't to actually appreciate the fact that she did turn our country in a particular direction , as i say, in my view, direction, as i say, in my view, in often the wrong direction . in often the wrong direction. but she did turn our country in a particular direction . she had a particular direction. she had a particular direction. she had a particular direction. she had a particular political drive. what have we had over the last few years? will actually have had five prime ministers, seven chancellors, 12 different feeling , no feeling plans for growth, no plan, no drive, no direction . plan, no drive, no direction. and it's a bit rich, isn't it? with rachel

so there is a great villain of history, a woman called margaret thatcher, whose favorite motto was there is no alternative. and the point of there is no alternative to dress up a demand as an observation and to really say stop trying to think of alternatives. and my job as a science fiction writer is try and think of alternatives, right? to say what if we had the same machine, but who would did things for and who things to were different. and a lot of the people who are critical of technology in ways that i think are counterproductive are unable to imagine that. so the foundation there are a bunch of people who are the internet has been reduced to five giant websites filled with of text from the other four. as tommy spence says. and the real problem there is the wrong people are running those websites right. mark zuckerberg is the wrong person to be the unelected social media czar for life for 4 billion people. we need someone better or we need to make him better at that job. and there's another current in technology criticism that i think is the luddite current that like maybe that job

thatcher's, you know, very much right market model.cher's, you know, very much right rachel market model. thatcher's, you know, very much right rachel sayingt model. thatcher's, you know, very much right rachel sayingt nthatl. what rachel is saying is that when into power when labour gets into power after next election, there after the next election, there will a sea in the way will be a sea change in the way that our economy is run. so she's making that point, not making point that economy making a point that our economy is the place. yeah. the is in the same place. yeah. the will, the will how so, because we will labour will introduce rather labour will rather not me, labour will introduce that introduce a set of policies that will the economy. we'll introduce a set of policies that willthe the economy. we'll introduce a set of policies that willthe economy economy. we'll introduce a set of policies that willthe economy growing, we'll introduce a set of policies that willthe economy growing, which get the economy growing, which it ce

liam is reeves the new thatcher?ow chancellor certainly interested in doing is attempting to reassure swing voters. if you like, people who are tribally unaligned, trying to reassure the business community that the labour party can be trusted with the public finances. she's really mimicking their what new labour did tony blair and gordon brown in the mid 90s before their election victory in 1997, and she's evoking 1979 because that was, of course, the time of the winter of discontent. you had a lot of industrial action. you had the number of people on strike action at a post—war high and under a labour government, the country pretty much collapsed in many ways. and then margaret thatcher came in and while there was an awful lot of pain, and some people felt that she divisive, the she was very divisive, the country certainly recovered through the 80s to become a faster growing, much more productive uk economy . i think productive uk economy. i think that's unanswerably true. what we're going to see this evening in the

but on this question, as she did on so many others, margaret thatcher provided some good advice whenverjust follow the crowd. always make up your own mind. it is now up to don't want to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. and i hope he does that. at its best, politics is about bringing people into your course, not turning them away. and i were conservative because badly needs more people. —— and i will conservative cause badly needs more people. this is now his time producing. i end my campaign with the same words i began, from the book ofjoshua. i direct them to all americans but especially to so many of the women and girls out there who put their faith in our campaign. be strong and courageous. do not be afraid. do not be discouraged for god will be with you wherever you go. in this campaign, i have seen our country's greatness. from the bottom of my heart, thank you, america. god bless you. applause studio: well, there you have it. nikki haley exits the stage and this year's presidential race. she had hoped to become the republican candidate

there is a long history which i wrote a book about margaret thatcher, which looked into this. was told she had to deepen her voice to be effective in parliament because if a man shouts, that is ok. but if a woman raises her voice, she squawks. in 2013, mp was saying the women were being mocked for their voices being too high. so there is a history. but this is the worst example because she wasn't even allowed to speak. furthermore, she was the person who was the subject of what was being discussed in prime minister's questions. she was the one who was directly attacked, who's safety was put at risk by these comments from the tory donor. to deny her a voice, i think it speaks to our democracy. because all too often, people with lived experience who know what it is like to get the sharp end of these things are not given a voice. politicians speak over them, they talk political flannel. we do hear those voices. most recently in the post office scandal, but it a while ago in the wind rush scandal. that cuts right through and politicians start listening and doing. it is good to hea

i'm proud at thatcher, when she described us disparagingly as the enemy within.n. certainly, durham has a history of being an excellent police force, and i think we operated as well as we could, given the circumstances during that long, hot summer of 1984. it leaves a very, very bitter taste in the mouth to think that we were portrayed as these thugs and gangsters it's a0 years thugs and gangsters. it's a0 years ago, but i'll tell my kids, i'll tell my grandkids, "this is what we went through." and when i'm dead and buried, take the fight on and let them know that we weren't criminals, we were fighting for the right to work. some breaking newsjust in — a russian patrol ship has been damaged after being attacked by sea drones in the black sea, according to ukrainian intelligence. the sergei kotov was allegedly hit in the early hours of tuesday morning. footage released purports to show the boat damaged by drones. we will have much more on that at the top of the hour. before we had to the weather... the shirt famously worn by colin firth in his portrayal of mr darc

there is a long history which i have written about, i wrote a book about margaret thatcher which alsolf was told she had to deepen her voice in order to be effective in parliament because, as norman tebbit put it, if a man shouts that is ok, if a woman raises her voice she squawks. in 2013 helen wollaston mp was saying that women would still being marked by the male mps for their voices too high. there is a history here but this is the worst example because she was not even allowed to speak and furthermore she was the person who was the subject of what was being discussed today in prime minister's questions, she was the one who was directly attacked, whose safety was put at risk by these comments from the tory donor. so to deny her a voice, i think in a way it speaks to our democracy because all too often people with lived experience to know what it is like to get the sharp edge of these things are not given a voice. politician speak over, talk a lot political flannel, politician speak over, talk a lot politicalflannel, but politician speak over, talk a lot political flannel, but when

now gardner is with us former policy advisor to margaret thatcher, the world is shocked by yet another deck cancer diagnosis and the royal family and this is not some thae ever expected with the princess of wales. >> thank you for having me on the short of. of course very sad news from london. the princess of wales kate middleton is popular with the british people and is greatly loved. this is immensely sad news but also the same time i think as mentioned earlier the british people will be b rattle to rallying around the princess of wales supporting her, praying for her and hoping she has a swift and full recovery. but certainly of course this is very, very sad news. and it's very unfortunate as well in the background there has been a real campaign of disinformation coming from the critics of the monarchy. a lot of horrible rumors out there coming from those who wish the royal family harm. i think it's absolutely appalling and disgraceful we've seen in this campaign of hate against the princess of wales recently. >> john: thank you for your thoughts, stay with us if you will for a seco

haley has tried to model herself after with that kind of steel backbone style of leadership that thatcherwas known for, the fact that she invokes her on a day like today i think is fitting for a candidate who's leaving this race but clearly vowing that she could be someone who comes back into the fold and issing a challenge to the former president and her former boss saying he now has to earn back the voters she took from him over the course of this republican primary. i think that steve makes a good point when he points out that haley's coalition was not just republican traditional voters who would come out in a primary, but it also consisted of independents. i asked her that question in new hampshire. how do you win a republican nomination when you're not necessarily winning republican base voters. she said, in fact, that's the wrong way to look at it and instead, the party should be trying to make a bigger tent for themselves. that's something that vaughn most trump has been sort of loathe to do. at one point saying that anyone who gives money to or backs haley would be barred permanen

she said she wishes trump well, she quoted margaret thatcher, never just follow the crowd. it is up to trump to earn the votes to get him into the white house. it is trump's call. liz: it was a very good speech and certainly opens the door on reconciliation between nikki haley and donald trump. she didn't say i am not going to endorse them, she didn't specifically endorse him, but think about the things she talked about, term limits are great but that is never going to happen. getting rid of hatred and division, president biden promised to do that and has gotten nowhere. our country is very divided. it would be great to get rid of it but that doesn't mean very much. the one thing i think she called out she probably would question trump on his standing with our allies. there has been a lot of noise about remarks about inviting vladimir putin to invade a western country and dado country if they don't pay their 2%. that was overblown. he has stood by our allies for all his bluster. what was his real message to nato? defense, we will be with you as a partner. i don't think even

, nigel lawson, who was the was the father of nigella lawson, he was a close advisor to margaret thatcher, in in his diaries he would have said, about the mass privatization programs in britain during the 80s, um, he says himself, that like privatizing rail networks and national utilities, it wasn't about you know what would bring best value for money or what would work best, he says specifically, it's an ideological thing, so i think that that is a play there where you know i don't, i don't think are ruling class parties have any real commitment to you know programs like um, truly free education, truly free healthcare, um, actual measures that will you bring down the cost of housing, you know, like let's be real about it as well, like i mean, finna galfall. green party, they their primary constituency are property owners, that's a problem. i also think you know to go to go back to ross cray, which was yeah, site of these of these protests and it was announced this week that like there there's a guy down there uh local fenofall td jackie kahal and he was you know very pleased to announce
