What war? said the

What war? said the Prime Minister sharply. No one has said anything to me about a war. I really think I should have been told. I’ll be damned, he said defiantly, if they shall have a war without consulting me. What’s a cabinet for, if there’s not more mutual confidence than that? What do they … Read more

The Prime Minister, shortly

The Prime Minister, shortly after she came into office, received a sobriquet as the ‘Iron Lady’.
