She deserves praise for “supply-side reforms” and rejecting “managed decline”.
A "visionary leader"; she directed a “decade of national renewal”.
"Thatcher was a political thug. And the Shadow Foreign Secretary knows it."
"Let’s not go there again. Let’s not forget. And let’s not look the other way as Labour tries to rehabilitate Margaret Thatcher. It is a terrible, shameful deceit."
From PMQs, via GPLB: "Stephen Flynn, the SNP leader, says given the Tory party is looking for a unity candidate to replace him, which of the Thatcherites on the Labour front bench would do the job best."
