We begin episode three with the fall of Margaret Thatcher approaching. What triggered her removal in November 1990? Had she lost the plot? Or was it really about Tory tensions over European policy? After explaining the fall, our team discuss Thatcher’s extraordinary and enduring impact on politics ever since. Why do leaders of left and right still invoke her memory and image? Was she one of the great national leaders as her supporters claim, or a malign influence as her detractors would have it? Or is the truth more complicated and the picture nuanced? In episode one in this three part series we charted the rise of Thatcher and in episode two the Not Another One team assessed her record in power.
