TL;DR Summary

Former UK Chancellor Nigel Lawson, who held several cabinet posts under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, has died at the age of 91. Lawson is credited with creating powerful entrepreneurial forces in a decade also remembered by many communities around the UK as a time of widening inequality and painful deindustrialisation. He is survived by six children, including Nigella Lawson, a food writer and celebrity cook. Lawson used his platform in the Lords to express scepticism of man-made climate change and became the chairman of Vote Leave, the group which led the campaign for the UK's exit from the EU.
