SMILING, youthful Mikhail Gorbachev was a breath of fresh air when he burst upon a startled world after decades of the Kremlin's "living dead". This was a bleak period when hard-faced Communist Party geriatrics were dying in droves. Tyrant Leonid Brezhnev popped his clogs in 1982, Yuri Andropov in 1984 and Konstantin Chernenko the next year. It took ferocious anti-Communist Margaret Thatcher to break the ice and become the first Western leader to offer unflinching support to Mikhail GorbachevRex News Group Newspapers LtdThe relationship between Thatcher and Gorbachev blossomed into something of a political romance '/ ' I had a privileged seat among the mourners, with Margaret Thatcher's Prime Ministerial VC-10 seemingly on constant standby for yet another ­Russian state funeral. These were the days when the KGB bugged our phones, willowy blondes toured hotel foyers in pursuit of "kompromat" and scowling babushkas guarded the corridors. American dollars were like gold dust on the currency black market, and citizens would fight for a pair of Western jeans or a jar of coffee. Suddenly everything changed and the Parliamentary press lobby were there to witness the Gorbachev phenomenon close up, as he took the helm, changing the world both in rusting, bankrupt Russia and on the world stage.

The transformation was so abrupt that many seasoned statesmen in the West treated the jolly new leader with suspicion. Was Gorbachev too good to be true? And what about his glamorous, outspoken wife, Raisa? What had changed in the "Evil Empire", which had only a few years earlier brought the world within four minutes of nuclear Armageddon?

"He is a man I can do business with," she announced — a colossal endorsement from the woman dubbed the Iron Lady by Russia. The relationship between Thatcher and Gorbachev blossomed into something of a political romance. And it developed into a global political ménage as US President Ronald Reagan threw the weight of the White House behind Gorbachev. Gorby became an iconic figure in the West, starring in Spitting Image as the puppet with a hammer and sickle birthmark on his bald head. Reagan was initially cautious. But suspicions thawed at a series of East-West summits in Washington, Moscow and, sensationally, in Reykjavik, Iceland, when Thatcher stepped in and prevented Reagan from scrapping all of America's nukes. Both Reagan and Gorbachev were determined to slash the world's entire nuclear weapons arsenal. But was it a clever Russian ruse to weaken the West? At the 1988 summit in Moscow, the two superpower leaders signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the first Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty.   Peace was bringing business to a Russia newly opened to the capitalist West. Suddenly everything changed and the Parliamentary press lobby were there to witness the Gorbachev phenomenon close up, as he took the helm, changing the world both in rusting, bankrupt Russia and on the world stage. Thatcher paid tribute by flying in for the opening of the country's first McDonald's. It might have been the first and only time Mrs T enjoyed a quarter pounder with fries. Tragically, the new age of openness could not last. After seven decades of repression, corruption and authoritarian control, it was impossible to liberalise the vast, creaking Soviet economy overnight. As Gorbachev said: "I loosened a few screws and it all fell apart." He was seized and held in secret over a weekend before being released, never to hold real power again. The economy collapsed, leaving millions of Russians destitute. Families had to barter precious possessions, including headstones of the recently dead, in return for food. As Russia suffered, a flinty-eyed KGB officer in St Petersburg was watching with increasing anger. Vladimir Putin blamed Gorbachev for destroying the historic Rus, the empire of the Tsars, and for driving Poland, Hungary and the Baltic states out of the Soviet embrace.

WE face severe challenges in the ­aftermath of Covid and Putin's awful invasion of Ukraine.

PABritain needs a radical solution to help the cost of living crisis and if I'm made PM I know exactly what I will do, says Tory leadership candidate Liz Truss '/ ' ReutersWe face severe challenges in the ­aftermath of Covid and Putin's awful invasion of Ukraine '/ ' Some say we can do little more to help with the cost of living than tinker around the edges. I firmly believe in these grave times, we need to be radical. That is why I am standing for the leadership of the Conservative Party and to be Prime Minister of our great country. If elected, I will lead the British people through the economic storm with my clear and truly Conservative plan. My agenda is focused on seeing us through to better days and unleashing Britain's full potential. We will get through these tough times by going for growth. LIGHT THE SPARK A growing economy means more opportunity across the country, more funding for public services including our NHS, and better life chances for our children. That is why we must grow the economic pie. As Prime Minister, I will make this happen through bold action such as tax cuts, decisive reforms and slashing senseless red tape.

I am on the side of all those who make our country great, from the dedicated commuters who go out to work every day to the striving self-employed and small business owners, to families and everyone who does the right thing. I am ready to put my money where my mouth is by cutting taxes. The Government I lead will reverse the rise in National Insurance and suspend the green levy on energy bills, in order to help people deal with the heaviest tax burden in 70 years. Cutting taxes is not just about putting more money back in people's pockets. It helps light the spark for success by encouraging new opportunities and driving economic growth. I will also deliver immediate support to ensure people are not facing unaffordable fuel bills. I will be robust in my approach. But it isn't right to announce my entire plan before I have even won the leadership and got my feet under the table. Let me reassure Sun readers that I can be trusted to rise to the challenge. I will take decisive action to provide help and ensure we never again face such an energy crisis. I will tackle the real concerns people have, whether it is the cost of childcare, ensuring the police are cracking down hard enough on crime or reining in the militant transport unions over their efforts to grind our country to a halt. I am on the side of all those who make our country great, from the dedicated commuters who go out to work every day to the striving self-employed and small business owners, to families and everyone who does the right thing.

I will be direct and determined in driving through the necessary reforms to change things for good. Let's be honest, it will not be easy. But I have the inner steel to get the job done and a proven track record of delivery. We were told by naysayers that it would never be possible to strike post-Brexit deals that were better than what we had before or to fix the Northern Ireland Protocol. Yet I stepped up to do just that. In the same spirit, I will double down in our drive to level up the country. I would get Britain building quicker and will put more power in the hands of local people so they can decide what is in the best interests of their area. I would harness the power of free enterprise to revitalise areas that need it most by creating new low-tax and low-regulation investment zones. Just as I led by example in seizing our new-found freedoms outside the European Union, I would go further than ever as Prime Minister to show what Global Britain can achieve. Under my leadership, we would get useless Brussels rules off our statute books and on to the bonfire by the end of 2023. MERCHANTS OF GLOOM I love our country. We are a great nation of makers, grafters and innovators. We can be greater still, which is why I would roll out the red carpet to the brilliant businesses and dynamic entrepreneurs who want to contribute to our success. At this critical moment, we must have the courage of our convictions. I will govern as a freedom-loving, tax-cutting Conservative. I will bring together a strong team of ministers dedicated to delivering on our promises. I am optimistic about our future despite the challenges ahead. Together, we can defy the voices of decline and show we will not buy what these merchants of gloom are peddling. Forecasts are not destiny.

She continued: "The choice couldn't be clearer — a reminder of what people rejected just two years ago." What did Joe Biden do about student loans? One of Biden's promises, when he took office, was student aid relief, saying he would cancel some student loan debt for borrowers. He revealed his student loan plan on August 24, which includes up to $20k in forgiveness. Those who make less than $125k per year and went to college on Pell Grants will qualify for $20k in forgiveness. Those who did not receive Pell Grants will qualify for $10k in student loan forgiveness. Biden announced the news during a press conference and said: ...An entire generation is set with unsustainable debt. ...The burden is so heavy that when you graduate, you cannot afford a middle-class life that college once provided.... However, some Republicans disagreed with Biden's loan forgiveness, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. ...President Biden's student loan socialism is a slap in the face to every family who sacrificed to save for college, every graduate who paid their debt, and every American who chose a certain career path or volunteered to serve in our Armed Forces in order to avoid taking on debt,... McConnell said. He added: ...This policy is astonishingly unfair.... However, Sen Elizabeth Warren has been calling on Biden to cancel $50k in student loans per borrower and in a joint statement, she and Sen Chuck Schumer said the decision is ...a giant step forward in addressing the student debt crisis.... Biden announced he is also extending the student loan deferment through December 31, 2022.
