  • Summary

  • 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.
