One of my most prominent memories of politics from the 90s too, funnily enough. Remember saying to my mum, “That’s good because it means John Major might no longer be prime minister any more, isn’t it” and her going “No, this one’s even worse.”

For me it was Margaret Thatcher becoming PM
. I remember being told she was the first female Prime Minister. I think I must have been five at the time.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
