Page "Neil Kinnock" Paragraph 26

Kinnock was also perceived as scoring in debates over Margaret Thatcher in the Commons — previously an area in which he was seen as weak — and finally Conservative MPs challenged Thatcher's leadership and she resigned on 22 November 1990 to be succeeded by John Major.

Kinnock greeted Thatcher's resignation by describing it as " very good news " and demanded an immediate general election.
