What do Thatcher and Truss have in common? A fondness for Jimmy Savile for one

Margaret Thatcher had more than a soft spot for the TV nonce.She repeatedly pushed for him to be honoured with a knighthood despite advisors warning the country may 'live to regret it.'

It is an open secret that Liz Truss is on a mission to morph into Margaret Thatcher.

However, in her youth she marched side-by-side with left-wingers to demand the ousting of Margaret Thatcher, she is now seen by supporters as the heir to the Iron Lady’s throne.

But Ms Truss also had an early “fascination” with Mrs Thatcher, saying that she was around eight when she agreed to play her during a mock school election. “I got no votes,” she conceded.

She might not admit it, but let’s be honest she is.

Liz Truss on R4's Today programme:

"People see you dress and model yourself on Margaret Thatcher"

So what else do they have in common?

Well, seemingly a fondness for one of the sickest people in human history.

Liz tweeted: “Used to see Jimmy Savile at the Flying Pizza on Street Lane, Roundhay. Always in good spirits. RIP.”

Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher had more than a soft spot for the TV nonce.

She repeatedly pushed for ‘eccentric great Briton’ Jimmy Savile to be honoured with a knighthood despite advisors warning the country may ‘live to regret it.’

She struck up a friendship with Savile during her Premiership in the 1980s, even inviting the disgraced broadcaster to spend Christmas at the official Chequers residence with her family.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
