Better wrap yourself in the Union Jack than the red flag. What the hon. gentleman has said amounts to a totally protectionist policy, which would lead to retaliation against us; it will reduce the capability of our export industries and therefore our standard of living; it would…
The government itself has no money—only other people's money, which it confiscates by taxation, devalues by inflation or borrows to be repaid by future generations.
Field: "Prime Minister, shall I follow you?" Thatcher: "People do." RIP Frank Field @frankfieldteam

The land is Britain's. The people there are British. The people there don't want to be taken over by the Argentinians or anyone else, and their experience there will mean they never want to be taken over ever again. Are you suggesting that someone else can march into the land of…
The people who are going to buy council houses are those who would probably live in them for the rest of their lives anyway. It seems to me absolutely wrong to say to them you must go on paying increasing rent for the rest of your life and never have the chance to own your home.…
"The only politician I've ever met of whom I would say, 'That was a first-rate mind' was Margaret Thatcher. She's just unbelievably sharp. She has one of those intelligences both very sharp and also pretty intolerant of people who aren't. So you had to be really on your…
The trouble with politics now is you've got too many people thinking that they keep office by spending more taxpayers' money in their own constituency or by agreeing to any good cause. They never look at the total. If you have a total that goes on increasing, you're going to get…
“Your individualism, Mrs. Thatcher, is selfish, materialistic and all out for profit and therefore it is not good. It is against the community.” That is a ridiculous argument. Look at it. It is selfish? I wish to goodness more people would in fact take responsibility for looking…
Utopia never comes, because we know we should not like it if it did.
The United States is itself a glorious example of how a common language, culture and institutions have made one people out of immigrants from every quarter of the globe. True, the United States is also united by a common philosophy of freedom, elaborated in a great Constitution.…
We must, I believe, have an independent nuclear deterrent in this country. The alternative is if you don't have one yourself, you rely on someone else's umbrella. So you can't have a moral case against it. Some of those people who say we must not have it try to deploy a moral…
A country can't support terrorism and still expect to be treated as a member of the international community. To take hostages is to exclude yourself from the civilised world.
Let me emphasise this point: I do not believe in weak government, but rather strong and limited government. Government must be strong to uphold the rule of law, strong to hold the ring against cartels and monopolies, strong to keep the finances sound, strong to set an affordable…
#OnThisDay 11 years ago, Britain lost its greatest peacetime prime minister, and the longest-serving since 1827, Margaret Thatcher. "Of course, no human mind, nor indeed any conceivable computer, can calculate the sum total of my career in politics in terms of happiness,…
If you really value a law-governed liberty, you will not economise on defence and you will not economise on research. I am afraid there are far too many people who are prepared to put defence fairly far down the list of priorities for expenditure. In politics, the unexpected…
We have got to stop destroying good schools in the name of equality. People from my sort of background needed Grammar schools to compete with children from privileged homes like Shirley Williams and Anthony Wedgwood Benn. Our aim in education is simple: it is to raise standards…
Believe you me, from some of the diktats that have come from the [European] Commission, they are really thirsty for power. They like it. They're non-elected. They can come and make decisions by a simple majority. But this is not for a proud nation. There's nothing old-fashioned…
Ideals are not enough to secure peace and freedom—only military superiority and the will to use it will.
What we should grasp from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration; second, the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom; and third, European unity has been…

This little pearl of wisdom eludes many.
The government itself has no money—only other people's money, which it confiscates by taxation, devalues by inflation or borrows to be repaid by future generations.
April 26th 1982: Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser makes a statement: "The British Government's decision to use force to re-establish its administration in South Georgia is a natural consequence on the invasion of the Falklands and South Georgia by Argentine forces".
‘I was born in the age of the horse… and I end in the age of the jet plane. Nothing like this has ever happened in the world before.’ - Harold Macmillan reflecting on the change he witnessed throughout his long life, with William F. Buckley Jnr.
It also states that British ships should stay on station in South Georgia in case of an Argentine counter invasion. Incredible painting of them here...
@realmrsthatcher @frankfieldteam I worked with Lady Thatcher, and I can attest to her sense of humour... almost hidden, but it was always there.
So much Thatcher in my camera roll (over 1000 quotes🥶) that the app made me a Thatcher appreciation video! Only a short clip of the 4 minute video! Thank you @MrsMThatcher and @realmrsthatcher for all the quotes that made this possible! And thanks Maggie T, you’re the GOAT!!❤️❤️
