Thatcher's Fall: Betrayal at Number Ten
Update: 2025-11-17
Description
Margaret Thatcher, Britains first female prime minister, resigned in November 1990 after eleven and a half years in power. Her downfall was largely due to a deteriorating relationship with Sir Geoffrey Howe, who delivered a devastating speech criticizing her approach to European negotiations. This speech paved the way for Michael Heseltine to challenge Thatcher for leadership, ultimately leading to her resignation. Despite supporting John Major, Thatcher never fully recovered from the sense of betrayal she felt.
