The Iron Lady certainly contains a selection of Thatcher's greatest handbaggings – which everyone much over 40 will remember with nostalgic glee or a shudder. We all knew her. But it is background. Gordon Brown would have done it too, but lacked the nerve. As the paper's sketchwriter, I came to realise that I did have one advantage during our occasional exchanges. In a small group or at a reception one could make a little joke. The odd thing about The Iron Lady is that, for a film about politics, it not very political. In handling the politics of deeply divided Britain of the 80s it is blandly fair to both perspectives, Thatcher's and her critics.
