Nigel Lawson, a former Conservative chancellor, passed away at 91. He served in several cabinet positions under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, and his influence was regarded as among the greatest among all UK chancellors after World War II. He was referred to as “an inspiration to me and many others” by Minister Rishi Sunak. He is credited with developing solid entrepreneurial forces quickly, and many UK communities remember this period as painful deindustrialisation and growing inequality.

Liz Truss, a fellow former prime minister, called him a “true giant of 20th-century politics” and said “his time at the helm of the Treasury was transformational.”.
