#MargaretThatcher created a #PollTax — an attempt to shift more #TaxBurden onto ordinary Britons — sparking a massive campaign of #CivilDisobedience and some outright rioting. Thatcher resigned over the fallout, and #JohnMajor announced its abolition on #ThisDayInHistory in 1991.

Ipsos (Dec 2025): Starmer recorded a net dissatisfaction rating of –66%. The lowest rating recorded for any British #PrimeMinister since Ipsos began tracking the figures in 1977, surpassing previous lows set by #JohnMajor & #JeremyCorbyn!

#MargaretThatcher resigned her leadership of the #Conservative Party on #ThisDayInHistory in 1990, losing also her position as Prime Minister, with both jobs going to #JohnMajor. #Thatcher remains a polarizing figure who pushed UK politics rightward to #neoliberalism & #nativism.

For some reason I woke up with slightly warm and fuzzy feelings towards a former PM, John Major, who was famous for wearing his #grundies on top of his trousers. No idea what caused it. It'll pass. By my favourite cartoonist - Steve Bell. #underpants #politics #UK #SteveBell #cartoon #JohnMajor

Sir #JohnMajor: "It's extremely odd to lecture Europe on the subject of free speech and democracy at the same time as they're cuddling Putin.
In Mr Putin's Russia, people who disagree with him disappear, or die, or flee the country, or fall out of high windows somewhere in Moscow."

The World This Weekend - Sir John Major: "We are moving into a more dangerous world" - BBC Sounds The former PM tells this programme that 'democracy is threatened' by recent world events.

Everyone!
Regular readers will know I am no fan of the #Tories , but the elder statesman that is #JohnMajor is saying it how it is regarding the burgeoning bromance that is #Trump / #Putin About 10 mins in.

John Major: Trump’s US isolationism threatens global democracy Former UK prime minister says US may regret ceding world stage to China and condemns ‘hypocritical’ JD Vance speech

#JohnMajor was right about #Brexit and he’s right about the abdication of responsibility and massive act of self-harm this new breed of exceptional American isolationism is going to deliver. I’m glad he’s spoken up.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My favourite part of that James Naughtie interview? “[JDVance] lectures Europe about democracy whilst at the same time cuddling Mr Putin,” #JohnMajor still has a way with words. #wato #r4today #MSC25 #JDVance #Munich #Ukraine #NATO

Well said #JohnMajor #Ukraine #Trump appeasing #Putin #Munich

That interview #JohnMajor gave on BBC Radio 4 just now paints the current global picture as where we were in 1938, the year before World War 2 began, only worse!

Voice not sounding brilliant, but mind is sharp as a tack.
#JohnMajor #TW2 #wato

#JohnMajor “If democracy retreats from America it will leave the door open for #Russia and #China to notch up their power” Wise words at this point in our history..

Anyone listening to #JohnMajor on #Munich and #Trump ? He says we are indeed in very dangerous waters. I guess he feels that it’s just too important to not speak out. “He says his father grew up in the US and that a rule’s based society that his father admired is now at risk” He is of course right!

#JohnMajor absolutely bang on in his assessment of the current state of affairs #Trump and #Putin are stitching up.
And to think I thought the world was a lot less safe with #Dubya in the White House,

Ever since #EdwinaCurrie released her memoir/diaries and we found out about #JohnMajor and his prancing about in his #BlueJocks, the opening credits for #PetersFriends has become something I can only listen to. As a result, I only just registered on this viewing that Donald and Ivanka appear.

I lived in #Britain for a long time. I wasn't into politics, or I was on the fringe.

I'd just moved there when #MargaretThatcher's reign ended and #JohnMajor took over.

I was there through #TonyBlaire.

I don't recall a time when there was so much strife and infighting. The turnover is wild. Mad.

That John Major interview was terrific. Credit to Amol Rajan for letting him speak his mind. I envy Major's clarity of speech and mind, even though I don't agree about CGT. #JohnMajor

John Major backs Blair over Brexit’s immigration impact The former Conservative prime minister gave his damning verdict on the effect of Brexit which has left the UK as a less powerful player on the world stage, but in Europe and the US

#JohnMajor #r4today says it better than any contemporary politician. #Brexit #Rwanda #Ukraine & the threats we face. Brexit makes us Weaker, Poorer & less influential. Russia must be defeated.
Statesmanship not the limp pap & visionless doom we're served.
Tory Party's lost. The One Nation Wing gone.

#JohnMajor took over at the end of the 3rd term and won #GE1992, the last of 4 successive victories, then Labour were back in with a landslide at #GE1997, the first of 2 landslides and in total 3 defeats, for most of first decade of that govt people talked of the end of Cons Party.
