Having said that, I vaguely remember reading somewhere she is actually a Labour supporter in private. If the rumours are correct, she certainly did not like Margaret Thatcher.
I don't think not liking Thatcher would make her a Labour supporter. I have never heard the rumour that she is, to be honest, but I cannot see her siding with Labour, in opposition to a party made up of old Etonians.
