Lord Heseltine: "We Must Not Have Reform Or Restore Anywhere Near The Corridors Of Power"

Article excerpt

Lord Heseltine warns that figures advocating reform or restoration must be kept away from power, speaking to Politics Home about regenerating Britain's cities and the devolution agenda. The former Conservative deputy prime minister draws a sharp distinction between productive governance and ideological posturing, suggesting that Margaret Thatcher herself would have rejected Nigel Farage's approach. Heseltine's comments reflect ongoing tensions within the right over the direction of British politics and whether disruption or institutional continuity better serves the country's needs.
