Margaret Thatcher branded 'villain' 

It’s an insult to one of the best Prime Minister we ever had . Maggie had guts & bottle & took on the unions . No wishy washy decisions, the illegal migrants would be too scared to come here. Maggie would have the army out turning boats back.

I think its disgraceful how Margaret Thatcher has been depicted alongside Bin Laden and Hitler.

Here's my poem about Margaret Thatcher.
In the annals of power, a name renowned,
Margaret Thatcher, a leader renowned.
Iron Lady, they called her with might,
A force of nature, shining bright.

With determination, she forged her way,
Breaking barriers, come what may.
A trailblazer, fierce and bold,
Her vision, a story yet untold.

Through turbulent times, she stood tall,
Guiding a nation, through rise and fall.
Unwavering in her beliefs, resolute,
A figure of strength, none could dispute.

Economic reforms, her bold crusade,
Transforming a nation, foundations laid.
Thatcherism echoed, policies anew,
A legacy etched, in red and blue.

Controversial, her reign unfurled,
Dividing opinions, in a changing world.
Yet history remembers, her impact profound,
Margaret Thatcher, a leader renowned.

In the corridors of power, her presence lingers,
A symbol of resilience, her spirit still lingers.
Love her or not, she left her mark,
Margaret Thatcher, a light in the dark.

Thatcher made tough decisions to drive the economy forward! She done what was right for the economy as a whole rather than appeasing a specific group to avoid hurting feelings. Yes it caused issues to some, but overall the benefit was for the country and economy as a whole.

No politician will ever please everyone, and media will always argue an argument that pulls in the readers and sells stories. The media are not bothered about what’s right or wrong, they are bothered about profit and selling stories.

Labour have caused as much damage to the economy in different ways. Labour are just the same as the Tories and that’s why we need reform than can only come from the Reform Party!

Thatcher was ahead of her time and our economy would probably benefit from another Thatcher.

Starmer and Sunak are both pissing in the same pot and will do both for the economy. Unfortunately the country forget that there are more parties than the mainstream media portray and therefore sadly we are on a revolving cycle between Conservative and Labour, we need real change, we need reform and we need to once again do what’s best for the masses and not the minority.

Thatcher is misunderstood but those who don’t understand politics and that’s the issue, everyone wants someone who will be a people pleaser and still shaft us, they don’t want a confident and knowledgeable individual who will actually do the job well without a smile on their face! Bring thatcher back, I’m sure she would have done an Anderson and deflected to reform by now!

How on earth can anyone compare Maggie or Donald trump to the likes of Hitler, Osama bin Laden etc. Maggie and Donald have never murdered or even threatened anyone with violence, yet the others Hitler etc intentionally murdered millions. The comparison is like chalk and cheese, no likeness what so ever!

Margaret Thatcher closed down all the coal mines costing hundreds of thousands of jobs, decimating communities and in the process shutdown our energy security forcing us to import coal at extra high prices, they knew we had no coal therefore upped the price. I was one of those miners whose life she ruined
Peter

This woman is talking absolute rubbish. Margaret Thatcher probably stayed to long, but in 1979 she was exactly what the Country needed.
Arthur Scargill destroyed the mining industry not the other way round. By the way, those on the left keep shouting about the closure of the mines, it would have had to be done anyway to meet Labour's blind rush to net zero. Those same people now complain when the Government try to open some to support our energy needs.
She gave millions the opportunity to buy their own houses, got rid of jobs and promotion for the boys in nationalised industries and brought in Trade Union laws which stopped wildcat strikes and secondary picketing
George

I lived through this period and I can tell you that before Maggie, we had bins overflowing, streets full of power cuts, having to do our work by candlelight. People on strike everywhere because the unions ruled the country. They were making ridiculous demands. She was probably second only to Churchill. And she was so unpopular that she got voted in for three terms.

Penny Mordaunt to replace Sunak?

I keep saying this Penny Mordaunt would be ANOTHER massive mistake for the Conservatives. In my opinion she has very little grasp of anything and is a big admirer of Bill Gates. She is also very woke. Even your previous commentator, Amanda Platell, said she was hopeless! I think for a lot of despairing Conservatives, it has to be Kemi Badenoch but not just yet.
Catherine

Changing the Conservative leader to Penny Mordaunt would be great BUT the electorate are getting very wise, and after the ousting of the still popular Boris, we realise that they can just oust them and put a more left wing candidate in place after the election, hence pointless. The ONLY thing that would save the Conservatives is controlling our borders, real reduction in migrants, and deporting ALL illegal migrants!
Stephen

Penny Mordaunt actually has a point, this isn’t a time for Conservatives to accept defeat, this is time to fight for their very existence. For if Labour gets a 250 seat majority the conservatives are dead. Starmer will force through anything he wants, provided it’s not within the manifesto. He is a lawyer, lawyers only have one objective and that’s to win.
I really hope someone reads this, as I’m quite intelligent in a non narcissistic way. That’s why I have never asked to appear on your channel.
The Tories need to accept Sunak is a vote looser, and embrace change. Regenerate as Dr Who use to, before all this woke nonsense.
I feel Penny Mordaunt is quite prepared to be a stalking horse, although there maybe more to this woman than meets the eye.
The Conservatives need to rip themselves apart BEFORE an election. Regenerate into a new right wing party before the next election, come up with a whole raft of populist policies that are included within the manifesto, take the fight to Starmer and win the next election . Starmer is such an easy target to topple.
Sunak is incompetent, full of rhetoric, and delusional. Get rid of him, this is what conservatives do.
Having 63 Conservative MPs standing down is a great opportunity to replace them with compliant right wing candidates.
It should also be incorporated into a manifesto, that any Prime Mister cannot be opposed within a fixed term.
Any New Prime Minister has to be put forward to the grassroots and not anointed by MPs. Let Sunak remain until a new Prime Minister had been legitimately selected, then call an election as a rejuvenated party.
It’s really that simple.
