One of the key figures of the Margaret Thatcher era, his resignation in 1989 was considered a pivotal moment in her downfall
Lawson’s embrace of a low-tax, small-government agenda under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher shaped the British state across the 1980s and continues to serve as a model for Conservatives.
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who worked with Lawson on the Vote Leave campaign in 2016, led tributes. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab said Nigel Lawson was a “giant who changed the political weather”. A journalist who served as MP for Blaby from 1974 to 1992, Lawson was one of the key figures in the Cabinet of Margaret Thatcher.
The departure set in motion the chain of events that led to the first leadership challenge against Margaret Thatcher, a year before the plot that removed her from power.
