Lord Norman Tebbit, a prominent British politician and former ally of Margaret Thatcher, passed away on Monday at the age of 94. His son, William, shared that he died peacefully at home, though details surrounding his passing remain sparse.
Tebbit served in the Parliament for over two decades from 1970 to 1992, playing a pivotal role in Thatcher's government, where he was known for his tough stance on political issues, including labor unions. His political career took a somber turn when he stepped back from high office to care for his wife, who was severely injured in an Irish Republican Army bombing that also left him wounded.
Despite his frailty in recent years, Tebbit remained vocal, maintaining a presence as a notable blogger and member of the House of Lords until his resignation in 2022. His straightforward and often confrontational style left a lasting impact on British conservative politics.
