Margaret Thatcher And Her Cabinet
Margaret thatcher played by gillian anderson makes a sharply ironic statement to queen elizabeth ii played by olivia colman in the season 4 premiere of the crown.
Margaret thatcher and her cabinet. Other key figures through some of the thatcher cabinets include michael heseltine who became a key rival willie whitelaw leon brittan norman lamont douglas hurd and john major her eventual successor. From then on she was the entirely dominant figure in her government. During her premiership thatcher retained the falkland islands moved to liberalise the british economy through deregulation.
And there was also margaret thatcher who despite her controversial policies dubbing her iron lady also made her mark as the first female prime minister and the longest serving prime. After thatcher died in 2013 the queens press secretary released a terse but respectful statement. Margaret thatcher had an early stand off with the wets in her cabinet and stood firm going ahead with her radical monetarist economic policies.
The queen was sad to hear the news of the death of baroness thatcher. When elizabeth says she assumes thatcher wont include any women in her new cabinet thatcher replies that there are no suitable candidates i have found women in general tend. Margaret thatcher does an awful lot of crying in the crown.
She then proceeded to use her powers of patronage to sack and demote several wets and promote her supporters. Though the prime minister was known to shed a tear or two during her 11 years leading the united kingdom the show leans heavily on.
