Peter Hitchens argues that Margaret Thatcher was an overrated politician whose policies were not conservative and left the country in a worse state.

“At the end of it, the country fantastically worse off than it was before.”

Michael Gove maintains that Margaret Thatcher's leadership was courageous and vital for revitalizing Britain's economy and standing on the world stage.

“It was Margaret Thatcher who in 1979 set that process in reverse. Yes, tough decisions had to be taken, but unless those decisions had been taken, then Britain would have been in decline.”

Reem Ibrahim argues that Thatcherism was a necessary rescue plan that saved Britain from economic decline and restored the country's greatness.

“Thatcherism was a rescue plan for a country in decline.”

Suzanne Moore claims that Margaret Thatcher's policies were brutal, destructive, and created lasting damage to the country's social fabric.

“This was a brutal and destructive and immensely cruel time. Thatcher was very dark. So, my reaction to her, as you can see, like many people in my generation, is visceral. I think we still live with the damage that she did”
