Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge? | Martin Kettle

Today’s politicians need to learn that she is not the answer to contemporary problems, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettle

This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for).
