Geoffrey Howe was Margaret Thatcher's longest-serving Cabinet minister, successively holding the posts of chancellor of the Exchequer, foreign secretary, and finally leader of the House of Commons, deputy prime minister and Lord President of the Council. His resignation from Cabinet on November 1st 1990 is widely considered to have precipitated the leadership challenge that led to Thatcher's resignation three weeks later.
