For those of you who missed the boost yesterday, here's @sjwrenlewis masterly critique of the reputation of #NigelLawson.

SWL argues that there is actual a significant continuity between the #economic mistakes - based on intellectual arrogance - wrought by Lawson & the arrogance of #LizTruss and others in the #Tories of today.

This is a very useful corrective to quite a few laudatory Lawson obits that have appeared!

Here's an interesting fact.
#NigelLawson did National Service in the Royal Navy. Rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander and captained *checks notes* HMS Gay Charger

Don't know what to say really.

OPINION: Nigel Lawson’s economic ‘success’ was an oil-fuelled illusion.

Lawson’s legacy is of a climate sceptic indebted to Big Oil. Refusal to accept that is making the UK poorer.

Nigel Lawson has died. But despite the overwhelming evidence of science, for balance we’re going to talk to somebody who says he hasn’t.
