Margaret Thatcher: The Authorized Biography Read Online Free Page A

charitably.

76. With Geoffrey Howe, her Chancellor of the Exchequer (1979–1983). The relationship was never really warm but he was the ‘tapestry master of Thatcherism’.

77. Keith Joseph, Mrs Thatcher’s dearest political friend and the man who made way for her to be leader. She loved him, but could be rude to him for his lack of political sense.

78. Norman Tebbit, Employment Secretary from 1981, the ‘bovver boy’ of Thatcherism. Of Mrs Thatcher’s colleagues on the right, only he could match her passion, and he exceeded her in wit.

79. Willie Whitelaw – first her opponent then her loyal deputy (and Home Secretary). ‘Everyone needs a Willie,’ she said, not seeing why others might laugh. Whitelaw was really one of the ‘Wets’, but he let them down, not her.
