If you Google Margaret Thatcher and Marmite you will find countless entries underlining that the late Tory leader was a Marmite (love/hate) politician which she certainly was for many.
A new history of the period 1979-1982, Who Dares Win, by Dominic Sandbrook however goes further.
He notes that Thatcher told an interviewer: ‘she only had time to cook simple things such as ‘vegetable soup and inevitably something like poached eggs or Marmite on toast’.
However Sandbrook goes on to suggest that in reality Margaret Thatcher and husband Denis ate ready meals from Marks and Spencers so Marmite lovers may be safe from any suggestion that Thatcher really liked it
