Except Through People

Margaret Thatcher never said either "Rejoice! Rejoice!" or "We are a grandmother", so "There is no such thing as society" is the most famous thing that she ever really did say.

In saying the opposite, Boris Johnson cannot have had any intention except to put a very great deal of social distance indeed between her legacy and his Premiership.

The Budget of March 2020, and the Government's response to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, have ended the era that began with the Budget of December 1976. And now, this.

The Centre is the think tank for this new era. Please give generously.
