Labour pays respect to Margaret
Thatcher
Labour is today paying its
respects to the family, friends and colleagues of former
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who passed away
overnight.
“Baroness Thatcher was a passionate and
formidable politician who loved her country. While I
didn’t agree with many of her policies, she was a strong

Britain’s first and only female Prime Minister.

remembering Margaret Thatcher’s service to the people of
Britain and her significant impact on the global political
environment,” said David Shearer.
