Badenoch is deliberately echoing Thatcher's 1976 The Right Approach with The Right Way. But she faces very different problems than Thatcher did in 1976. So perhaps this isn't about being “the second Thatcher” at all. Perhaps she's using Thatcher's 1976 game plan to rebuild a Conservative Party that has lost its way.

Thatcher was dealing with inflation, trade-union power, nationalised industries, and the post-war consensus.

Badenoch is dealing with Brexit, mass migration, an enormous welfare state, demographic ageing, huge public debt, weak productivity, an NHS crisis, net-zero policy and a political challenger to her right.
