I watch the ‘Steve Coogan’ 2 part drama about Former Labour MP, ‘Brian Walden, and his complicated friendship with 80’s Prime minister Margerate Thatcher.

Brian because on of the most prominent political interviewers of his erra.

He clearly admired her, and later even wrote speeches for her.

But was also responsible for a hard hitting final interview that came right at the end of her career.. and could easily have contributed to her downfall.

It’s a sympathetic, look at an explosive time in British politics.

It captures the mood of the times well, and I recommended.

I do wonder if Thatcher was a conservative leader today.. would she win elections?
