Carol Thatcher: The Tories stabbed my mother in the back and it stayed with her

This week marks 100 years since the birth of Margaret Thatcher – one of the most influential figures in modern British politics. 

In this exclusive interview for The Daily T podcast, Camilla and Tim sit down with her daughter, Carol Thatcher, to explore what it was like growing up with Britain’s first female prime minister.

Carol offers a rare, personal insight into life inside Number 10 Downing Street, sharing intimate stories of her mother’s work ethic, her approach to power and the personal side of a political icon.

She reflects on how Thatcher’s leadership continues to inspire female politicians, the fallout after the Tories ousted her, and why her mother still holds a near-mythical status within the Conservative Party.
