Margaret Thatcher
Hope is no basis for a defense policy.
Margaret Thatcher
We went back on a very similar manifesto to things I believe in. The difference is that after eighteen months to two years he did the biggest U-turn on policy of all time and started to go the wrong way. In the end, that cost us the next election.
Margaret Thatcher
I shall fight on, I shall fight to win.
Margaret Thatcher
The acid test of politics is not what you say at the hustings, but what you actually do in government.
Margaret Thatcher
