Caption: Norman Tebbit, Key Thatcher-Era Cabinet Minister, Dies at 94. Norman Tebbit, a prominent figure in Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government, has died peacefully at the age of 94, his family confirmed. A fierce supporter of Thatcherism, Tebbit served as chairman of the Conservative Party and held senior roles in trade, industry, and employment during the 1980s. He was known for championing legislation that limited union power and reinforced Conservative economic policy. In 1984, Tebbit and his wife were seriously injured in the IRA bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the Conservative Party Conference, a moment that became symbolic of his resilience. His son William announced Lord Tebbit’s passing late on 7 July, asking for privacy on behalf of the family. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch paid tribute, calling Tebbit “an icon in British politics” whose courage, loyalty, and determination continue to inspire across generations.
