Y2K Politics
Following the " Winter of Discontent" that brought Jim Callaghans Labour Government to its knees, Margaret Thatcher became Britains first Woman Prime Minister in 1979 and gripped the 80s with an Iron Ladys fist. Thatcherism broke from the years of post-war consensus government, providing wealth-making opportunities for some but leaving many in the cold as the Welfare State was cut back, nationalised industries sold off and the Trades Unions crushed. By 1990, party divisions over Europe, Poll Tax reforms and private ambitions raised a leadership rebellion which, to her own amazement, toppled her in a palace coup. With tears in her eyes she paused on the steps of No 10 to deliver her last soundbite as PM, saying that it was time for "...a new chapter to open". The new chapter was John Major, Thatchers own choice

Margaret Thatcher - A Legacy of Power and Controversy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This iconic photo captures the historic moment when Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first female Prime Minister, left No 10 Downing Street for the last time in 1990. Known as the Iron Lady, Thatcher dominated British politics throughout the 1980s with her uncompromising leadership style and radical economic policies. Thatcherism, as her ideology came to be known, brought about significant changes to the country. While it provided opportunities for wealth creation and unleashed entrepreneurial spirit, it also led to a dismantling of the Welfare State and a decline in traditional industries. The resulting social divisions sparked fierce debates that continue to shape British society today. By 1990, internal party conflicts over Europe and controversial reforms such as the Poll Tax had eroded support within her own Conservative Party. In an unexpected turn of events, she was forced out by a leadership rebellion that surprised even herself. As she stood on the steps of No 10 with tears in her eyes, Thatcher delivered her final soundbite as Prime Minister – signaling that it was time for a new chapter to begin. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Thatcher's complex legacy – admired by some for revitalizing Britain's economy but criticized by others for exacerbating inequality. It is a testament to one woman's indelible mark on history and how political decisions can shape nations for years to come.
