Bought in an estate addressed to a man in the next suburb here.

"The Iron Lady' seems to be held in Churchillian regard by many, so I assume these are far better value than if signed by her predecessor James Callaghan .... James WHO??

The "Prime Minister" letterhead is rather ironically on "Conqueror Bond" watermark paper.

Postmarked London July 1st, on "10 Downing Street" inscribed envelope, (also marked "Conqueror Bond")

Whether the signed FDC and letter both from 1980 came with it, I have no idea - probably so, as the 46p franking indicates overweight mail, as post to oz was 31p for standard mail.

If you watch the video, you'll cringe when you see the clothes (at least they come sans dragon lady, that could only make it worse). They're the sort of outfits that nowadays one sees in a charity shop, having been donated by children clearing out the deceased parents' closet of all the stuff that has been there for decades.
