Not only that but you go on about the tories when before you’ve claimed that you are one, when it’s very evident you aren’t. But that’s if no surprise to anybody.

Ashamed of the cronyism and corruption, or lurching into socialism, or any policies the real PM - Carrie whatever her name is today.

Heseltine is hardly a non partisan observer.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Surprised he didnt go on holiday to Moscow and visit his overlords.

Heseltine did deliver he was a man of action.

The rejuvenation of Liverpool, Newcastle Hull and others were as a result of his intervention, setting up the Whitehall machine to liaise directly with mayors and their councils.

Tell us what you need, and if we can make it fit, let's see what we can do.

He is wrong about not being able to find the 6 billions for universal credit though, it can be found.

Axe HS2.

Steely is a secret multi billionaire just playing with us

And when that's gone in 9 years with inflation then what?
You can't just keep throwing money at things by shelving projects which will advance the country.
Have you seen Europe's train network. Makes ours look like Stephensons rocket.
The policy you want to implement of giving giving giving takes money and pain for the givers. Do you admit many on welfare could help themselves and if so propose how that could be done. Cosy little existence for many on the back of my graft. Piss taking oxygen theives need stopping doing it. I've already said I know there are also many who can't work and need help. You can call me callous or far right but if you ran your own budget as you want hmg to you would be potless in 3 years.

Pushing people into poverty is economically illiterate.

We should not be doing this in 2021 with its history of failure, what is the economy for if not our people.

One thing we could actually do is re-direct QE to poorer families, giving them money to spend and stimulating demand, Keynesian theory.

QE has not been causing inflation this time.

Forget high wages, it means rising inflation prices and therefore uncompetitive, unless you could make huge productivity gains at which I'm afraid we are spectacularly bad.

The biggest problem we have is not being in the single market imo, we are no longer competitive with europe.

Maintaining an empirical fantasy in the South China Sea, ill-thought out projects like HS2, corruption, still lords and ladies and serfs, and brexit itself which is clearly going to be ruinous.

Looking at Tony Robinson re-visiting Suez last night I was struck how similar the circumstances are now.

In that case the economy could no longer bear the cost of the war, but we haven't really learnt its lesson well enough.

A Prime Minister, Eden, vain and totally uncomprehending of the real world situation, blustering and deceiving everybody, who does he remind you of?

Heseltine was the best leader the Tories, and the country, never had. If he had been chosen, we would not be in the mess we are now.

I met him once, and integrity shone from him like a beacon of hope. I don't think he is personally bitter. He is very sad, disillusioned and disappointed at the direction taken by his Party and the consequences for our country.

Him, Major and Blair stand miles above anything we now have. The current lot are minnows in a sea full of sharks. Out of their depth, in the wrong kind of water, with the tide against them, just hoping that something turns up to save them.
