Description: (British Politician)
Geoffrey Howe was a prominent British politician who played a key role in Margaret Thatcher's government. He served in various important positions such as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary, Deputy Prime Minister, and Leader of the House of Commons. Known for his radical economic policies focused on restoring public finances and liberalizing the economy, Howe's resignation in 1990, marked by a critical speech in Parliament, was a significant factor in Thatcher's subsequent resignation and the leadership change within the Conservative Party.
