.....you win a general election, now you are PM, how do you fix it?

DTC just made me laugh.

Forget Milton Friedman when it comes to Economics commentary or postulation, I'm for hire, retro......and charge far more than our 'beloved' as he's a Corbynite and only believes in taking - legally and possibly illegally.

Thanks TTT.

Unfortunately those on the left can never bring themselves to grudgingly admit sometimes, sometimes, the right get it right.

Those on the right are more accommodating.

Illegal war aside, Blair did a lot of good, and Brown bailing out the banks was a master stroke. I applauded them them.

Unfortunately such is the left’s unwillingness to admit sometimes the other party gets it right, had the Tories did what Labour did in 2008, their spittle-fuelled invective would be covering their keyboards.

I have already said that I think the employment act was the correct thing to do at the time… i have also said before that her judgement was correct on defending the falklands. she was dead right about climate change and deserves praise for showing leadership on that issue while she was in power

so i am quite happy to say where i think she got things right

I do not agree that she did more good than harm

MT had ideas above her station. "We are a grandmother" springs to mind. What a plonker.

There are very few stations above TGL maggie.

I apologise untitled - I misread your post.

I disagree with you that MT did more harm than good, but I humbly concede the points you made.
