Shocking! 😮

Just what bloody difference does it make what clothes #HannahSpencer is wearing?? It's all about how decent, hard working & caring an MP is not what she wears.

Look at #Thatcher - she always wore a suit, but she was STILL a cunt.

#RoryStewart & war criminal #AlistairCampbell had a play-fight in #TheRestIsPolitics, blaming each other for the the UK's 1-ship navy comedy. The so-called "#RoyalNavy" has only ship to send to the #Mediterranean, the #destroyer #HMSDragon.

But the real #comedy […]

#Thatcher marked the beginning of the UK's decline, & her harsh policies have been carried on by both #Labour & the #Tories.

It's time to dump the establishment once & for all & vote for a party that puts the people & the planet first, not the wealthy & the mega-money industries.

Foolish to say the least. International oil companies own 'our' oil and gas thanks to #Thatcher. Who closed our coalmines.

The reason for that was because the #Nation and #People of #Scotland had been repulsed by #Conservatism by #Thatcher and her ilk.
And frankly it was the only way the #SNP could eventually win. And they did. The SNP under #NicolaSturgeon tacked firmly #CentreLeft and won.

I’m old enough to remember that #Thatcher won the 1983 General Election because of the Falklands War. Could #Labour win the 2029 election on the back of correctly not joining #Trumps illegal war?

We have past the point where acting like a good human being in all things is the desired norm. What we have is a significant shift in behaviour. Encompassing #Thatcher ‘there’s no such thing as society, just people and their families’ #verbalAbuse #onlineBullying #collateralDamage #flytipping

I’ve often thought that women would be more productive and empathetic in positions of power (I know #Thatcher is listed as being female, I hoped that was an aberration) however women in #USA politics have disavowed me of that notion.

I'd wholeheartedly agree, but all I have to say is #Thatcher.

She sparked the decline of the #UK, & many of her harsh policies continue to have an impact even today.

Perhaps it should be a #LeftWing matriarchy?

Miners’ vs Thatcher: Battle That Changed Britain On this day, 5 March 1984, the great UK miners’ strike began when miners at Cortonwood colliery walked out in response to the Conservative government’s announcement of a pit closure plan. Some other pits were already on strike in other disputes, but the strikes against closures spread across Yorkshire, and four days later the National Union of Mineworkers called a national strike, which was joined by a majority of miners around the country. Women, many of them miners’ wives, played a crucial role in supporting the strike, helping the workers to remain out for nearly a year. Prime minister Margaret Thatcher and her government were determined to break the power of workers’ organisations and push through mass privatisation and free market reforms. They had learned from their previous defeats in miners’ strikes in 1972 and 1974. They built up coal stocks, so they could withstand a long strike, and then deliberately provoked the strike by announcing the closure plan in spring when coal was in less demand than during the cold winter months.  The defeat of the miners, who had been the most well-organised and most militant group of workers in Britain, marked a decisive turning point in the balance of power between workers and employers in the country. It eventually led to the much more atomised and individualised nature of the working class in Britain today. Learn more in our podcast series about the dispute. Episode 13 is about women in the strike, episodes 27-29 are about LGBT+ people during the strike, and episode 81 is about the miners’ strikes in 1972 and 1974. Episodes about the strike itself are coming soon: https://workingclasshistory.com/tag/1984-5-miners-strike/

Wait a minute, didn't #Thatcher start absentee voting to harvest #Tory voting tax exiles living overseas? I certainly got an absentee vote when I moved to USA in 1990 - specifically to bite the biter as I was registered in a #marginal seat & could vote to kick them out.

Doesn’t it illustrate how evil #Thatcher was that #TrumpStein uses her warmongering as a pattern to divert attention from personal incompetence and inhumanity?

In the 1979-83 parliament the #Tories lost 4 byelections.
In the 1983-87 they lost 3
In the 1987-92 they lost 6
(In the 1992-97 they lost 8)
#Thatcher remained PM until the #PollTax toppled her in 1990, not the loss of byelections.
(They lost many Councillors too)

#Trump going down the #Thatcher route of indirect taxation (e.g. tariffs - we call it VAT) to cut direct taxation.
It doesn't matter how you do it, you need the same revenue to balance the books, but the rich are least affected as they choose what to buy. #USA

I've said this so many times now, but ALL our problems started with #Thatcher.

She may not have gone to jail, but is no doubt rotting in a corner of hell, right now.

Evil woman.

Was never a fan, but #Thatcher was spot on with this prescient statement in 1975: “The choice is clear. We can play a role in developing #Europe, or we can turn our backs. By turning out backs we would forfeit the right to influence what happens. But what happens will invariably affect us”.

This update of a portrait from 15 years ago is something I needed to do. When you spend most of your adult life despising a person you need to paint them out of you. It didn’t work! #davidwellerart #Maggie #thatcher #painting #artforsale

Nothing says the ‘special relationship’ is over like this picture of Donald Trump and Liz Truss | Zoe Williams It’s awkward, nobody seems to know what is going on, and the president’s thumb is at half-mast. It’s almost a metaphor for diplomatic relations between the US and the UK, writes Zoe Williams

To be fair, her um “ #premiership “ was great for me as she made the #£ drop to its lowest ever level against the #almighty$ just as I traveled to Scotland, making it my least expensive #USA to #UK trip in 30 years. @liztrussmp.bsky.social #liztruss is the worst PM in history & I survived #thatcher

The rot started with #Thatcher & has continued pretty much ever since.

The worst in history???

No, we have #Thatcher for that, but #Starmer is certainly the worst #Labour PM, even more so than #Blair.

1981....

🎶 "I am the one in ten,
A number on a list.
I am the one in ten,
Even though I don't exist.

Nobody knows me,
But I'm always there.
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn't care."🎵
