THE two remaining Tory leadership candidates have both laid claim to Margaret Thatcher’s memory. Both claim to hold to the same beliefs and values as the Tories’ great hero. But far more important than her purported beliefs are her actions in office.
Rishi Sunak started the campaign presenting himself as a version of “Thatcher the grocer’s daughter,” talking up how he learned the value of money and the importance of balancing the books from his pharmacist parents.
