"He correctly forecast Margaret Thatcher's resignation as Prime Minister in 1990"

It needs to be mentioned precisely when Cole did this. I've just watched (on YouTube) a clip of BBC News just after Geoffrey Howe resigned, and at that point Cole still thought Thatcher's losing the leadership election was "improbable". 81.153.111.37 (talk) 01:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Lifelong socialist?

The BBC article to which this refers doesn't appear to back this up, unless you count Denis Thatcher's assertion that all BBC journalists are Trotskyists.AuntFlo (talk) 09:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
