On the sad news of the passing of Lady Thatcher

This is the statement I have issued on behalf of Copeland Conservative Association, of which I am Chairman, following the terribly sad news that Lady Thatcher passed away this morning.

“I grew up in the 80s and 90s in a Britain very much made by Mrs Thatcher. I will forever be thankful for the example she set for people like me, showing that in spite of whom you are or where you are from anybody can, like her, be great and achieve great things. She was and will always be an inspiration to me, and I am immensely saddened to hear of her passing. Copeland and Britain are better for what she achieved. The thoughts of the entire Association are with her family and in particular her children, Sir Mark and Carol Thatcher, at this difficult time.”
