She (similar to Reagan in the US) enacted a massive shift in government/society from a more social-democratic focus to a more (economocally) liberal one. Her big goals were to privatize and financialize as much as possible.
This ended up leading to (as it always does) massive increases in inequality, with particularly rural/industrial regions suffering heavily while the services/financial sector in London boomed.
So she is EXTREMELY polarizing. Many conservatives or big-business types worship her, while for many/most others she’s seen as the worst thing to happen to the UK.
Also lets not forget how the changes in press-ownership legislation during her time set the way for the growth of the Far-Right which has already delivered Brexit and will quite likely keep on regularly delivering problems to the UK.

got it, thanks for the broad strokes and context
Why does she show up as LibLeft on political compasses if she’s so Reagan?
