Labour election chief Pat McFadden has defended Sir Keir Starmer after he faced a backlash for praising Margaret Thatcher. In a Sunday Telegraph opinion piece, the Labour leader claimed the former Conservative prime minister had effected “meaningful change” and “set loose Britain’s natural entrepreneurialism”. But McFadden says the comments were "not an endorsement of Thatcher's policies" but rather expressing admiration of her standing as a "conviction politician."
