Quotation for Today, Sunday May 10

“There never has been a politician quite like her for extending the boundaries of what is possible. She changed British politics in a way that was quite remarkable. I think she had more than enough courage for a dozen people.When I reflect on her, the first thing that always comes to my mind is how principled she was: she had a set of values and a set of principles in the way very few politicians did. She set a very high standards and I think anyone who came after her was rather in awe of her and the enormity of her achievements. She is remarkably modest about what she achieved. Only a few weeks ago she said to me, ‘We didn’t do too badly’ ”
Lord Lamont of Lerwick, former Chancellor on Margaret Thatcher
