Barnes Book Festival: Michael Heseltine

Lord Heseltine’s new memoir looks forwards as much as backwards and sets out an urgent agenda for the policies that he believes are needed to unite the United Kingdom and restore hope.  He meets with Lord Patten to review his time in politics over sixty years, reflecting on his achievements in government, the implications of the Westland helicopter affair and the establishment cover-up that caused him to resign from Thatcher’s cabinet.  Most critically, Lord Heseltine shares his damning assessment of Brexit and its consequences.
