‘Dressed to kill, but as it turns out, dressed for the end’: Philip Johnston on Thatcher’s downfall
“If the Conservative party can get rid of a Prime Minister who had won three general elections; was regarded as the world’s premier statesman; who played a leading role ending the Cold War; they can get rid of anybody.”
Philip Johnston, The Telegraph’s assistant editor, was in Paris with Margaret Thatcher when the vote on Michael Heseltine’s challenge for Conservative leadership took place. Just four votes shy of the needed majority, Thatcher vowed to fight on, but would resign before the end of the year.
In this video, Philip takes us through the final days of the Thatcher era, and the events that culminated in the downfall of the Iron Lady.
The fourth episode in a video and podcast series, featuring the stories of Telegraph journalists who witnessed history.
