Chancellor between 83 and 89. I think former PM Boris Johnson summed him up nicely. 

"Nigel Lawson was a fearless and original flame of free market Conservatism - he was a tax-cutter and simplifier who helped transform the economic landscape and helped millions of British people achieve their dreams. He was a prophet of Brexit and a lover of continental Europe. He was a giant. My thoughts and prayers are with his family."

    RIP. There are politicians that create a legacy for good and for bad depending on your political opinion of course. He was one.

    Nigel Lawson.

    Bringing Nigella into the world was a great thing and hopefully not too taxing.

    Many a man have got sticky trying to follow instructions from Nigella.
