Not Another One

Fifty years of Thatcher: how did she win?


Listen Later

On 11 February 1975 Margaret Thatcher became Conservative leader. No one knew then how dominant she would become, to the point that even Keir Starmer was citing her this week as a model change maker. In the first of a three part special we examine - from our different perspectives - the impact of Thatcher on the country and her party. We explore Thatcher as leader of the opposition. Was she a radical on the right from the beginning? How did she manage her party and develop policies? How did she present herself? Was her victory inevitable in 1979?


Parts 2 and 3 to follow over the next week.
