Secret Margaret Thatcher Files Revealed

Secret files have been unveiled which reveal how Margaret Thatcher argued with defence chiefs over spending cuts just a year before the Falklands war.
The 30-year-old Cabinet papers from the National Archives also reveal how the Prime Minister was advised to abandon Liverpool to "managed decline" after the 1981 Toxteth Riots.
The then-Secretary of State for the Environment Michael Heseltine had sought regeneration funding for the city but Chancellor Geoffrey Howe argued it was a waste of money.
