DO WE NEED ANOTHER THATCHER? - with Iain Dale

Iain Dale joined this week to talk to me about his new  biography on Magaret Thatcher. We discussed the biggest misconceptions about the the Iron Lady (including how left-wing she was as education secretary and might not have been the first 'milk snatcher'). We also discuss solid reasons why modern politicians are unlikely to ever match her grit, even if she remains a divisive figure. In the Patreon only section I ask Iain how Lady Thatch would've approached this week's spending review.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
