I was incredibly saddened to hear that Baroness Thatcher passed away earlier this morning. She was a truly remarkable politician and will forever be remembered as the greatest peacetime Prime Minister of the twentieth century. She brought lasting benefits to the UK and many people in Bromley & Chislehurst benefited from the reforms she pioneered and the way she championed hard work, aspiration and home ownership. Lady Thatcher really did stand up for Britain in the world, restored our standing and gave people sense of national pride and optimism. She has always been a great inspiration to me and I was fortunate enough to meet her in my early political career as a young Conservative councillor. Today is a sad day for Briton, but we can all reflect with immense pride on Lady Thatcher’s remarkable life story and the sacrifices she made to serve our county.
