Conservative Party: Anonymous note to MT (attack on her leadership, supposedly from a Conservative MP) [“how dare you, a grocer’s daughter, bring our great Party into the dust?”] [released 2014]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: Thatcher MSS (Churchill Archive Centre): THCR2/6/3/16 part2 f24
Editorial comments: Signed "Conservative M.P.", using Parliamentary envelope and franking. Norman St.John-Stevas is correctly spelled, which perhaps strengthens the case for the writer having a reasonable acquaintance with Westminster. It was thought worth keeping in the file. Beyond that one can say nothing as to its authenticity.
Importance ranking: Major
Word count: 2pp
Themes: Conservatism, Conservative Party (organization), Leadership
