Margaret Thatcher topped the ballot, leading to Edward Heath's resignation as party leader.

This document, signed by the scrutineers, confirmed the result. 👇

RIP John Nott, who has passed away at the age of 92. The last living National Liberal MP, he was Thatcher’s first Trade Secretary and then Defence Secretary during the Falklands.

Called his memoirs “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow” after his memorable 1982 run in with Sir Robin Day.
