Interesting point about Tebbit not running to succeed Mrs T. I can lay claim to actually urging him to do so. That evening when she stood down, I was drinking in the Chandos in Trafalgar Sq. We hurried down and enjoyed what was still a nascent spectacle of TV interviews on College Green. I saw Tebbit and said he should stand, though even to an ingenue like me, that was clearly not going to happen.
