Iain Dale: Margaret Thatcher

Across British politics – from Rachel Reeves to Kemi Badenoch – people are laying claim to Margaret Thatcher’s legacy. But what is that legacy? No-one under 53 today will have even been old enough to vote while she was in power and many of us will have sketchy knowledge of her premiership.

On the 100th anniversary of her birth, accomplished broadcaster and author Iain Dale aims to introduce a new generation to Margaret Thatcher – exploding many myths along the way.

Who was the ‘Iron Lady’ and was she really as dictatorial as people believed? Did she transform Britain’s economy, and if so, how? What was her role in ending the Cold War? Did she support Apartheid in South Africa? Did she care only for the rich? Did she U-Turn or was, as she famously said, ‘the lady not for turning’?
