Speakers: Caroline Slocock, David Young, Zoe Strimpel

Admirers and detractors alike agree that Margaret Thatcher’s premiership changed the country. The final years of her tenure continue to fascinate and we are joined by two insiders from this crucial period. Employment Secretary David Young was drafted in to run her 1987 campaign and his diaries Inside Thatcher’s Last Election reveal paranoia, personality clashes and a very different woman from the one we thought we knew. People Like Us: Margaret Thatcher and Me is a unique account of her final 18 months at No. 10, by Caroline Slocock who became the first-ever female private secretary to any British Prime Minister and, as a left-wing feminist, an unlikely ally during this tumultuous time. They speak with journalist Zoe Strimpel.
