Margaret Thatcher made Britain 'great again', David Cameron said today as he lead moving Commons tributes to the former Prime Minister.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said she was a 'unique and towering figure' whatever views are held of her while Lib Dem Nick Clegg said it was 'impossible to deny the indelible imprint Margaret Thatcher made on the nation and the wider world'.
Starting the debate, Mr Cameron told MPs: 'In the long history of our parliament, Margaret Thatcher was our first and so far our only woman prime minister.
'What she achieved even before her three terms in office was remarkable
'She won three elections in a row, serving this country for a longer continuous period than any prime minister for more than 150 years. She defined and she overcame the great challenges of her age and it is right that Parliament has been recalled to mark our respect.
Mr Miliband said Lady Thatcher believed 'ideology mattered' and that she believed ideas 'matter in politics'.
She said it meant she defined the politics of a generation and influenced generations to come.
