Kemi Badenoch’s first 100 days will mark the last gasp of Thatcherism

The Independent  

The Conservative leader was safe, according to The Guardian 50 years ago this morning. Heath, deeply affronted by his rebuff, withdrew from the contest immediately, and the Tory party’s strange leadership rules allowed other candidates to enter the race at this stage, so Thatcher would have to face off against William Whitelaw, Geoffrey Howe and Jim Prior. Like Thatcher, Badenoch served loyally in the recent Tory government, while claiming to have disagreed with central assumptions of its policy. The context is different in another critical respect, which is that, although the Heath government was thought to have failed, everyone assumed that the next phase of opposition to the Labour Party would come from within the Tory party – that it would be time for the free-market ideas of Keith Joseph, which had briefly been tried by Heath, to be tried again. I wonder if Badenoch’s leadership is the last gasp of Thatcherism, in that it may be the last time that the party will be led by someone who was politically conscious while the Lady herself was prime minister – even if Badenoch was only 10 at the time.
