Hello all,
Just thought I'd ask this, in light of the recent Thatcher dies at Brighton thread. What if instead of the bomb exploding at the 1984 Tory party conference, it is discovered beforehand? In OTL the bomb killed a handful of Tory politicians and left Norman Tebbit's wife seriously injured, eventually leading to his resignation from Thatcher's cabinet.
So what if the bomb doesn't go off and Tebbit stays on? How much more influence does he have in the Thatcher government from 1984 to 1990? Does Heseltine's leadership challenge still happen and if so, does Tebbit's increased participation in the cabinet mean he's a credible alternative to major?
Discuss.
