Like Macmillan, Thatcher, and Major, Heseltine comes from another age - when Tories had rational principles and pragmatic plans, even when you didn't agree with them. But since 2016, the party has been dominated by amoral opportunists and Brexit fanatics.

It is becoming painfully clear that the huge amounts of money Brussels borrowed is being wasted, with an investigation into fraud underway, accusations of corruption, and misallocation of resources. In reality, Britain had a lucky escape from the whole sorry mess - and while we may have failed to seize many of the opportunities from Brexit, staying out of this disastrous fund was one of them. Earlier this month, Italian police arrested more than 20 suspects from across the bloc, at the request of EU prosecutors, over a suspected fraud of more than €600m. During the raids, police seized Rolexes, gold jewellery, Lamborghinis and Porches, which gives us an idea of where at least some of the cash went. It does not stop there. Last week, the website Politico reported that the authorities are investigating the way that €2.5bn of Covid recovery funds earmarked for Greece had been awarded to a small group of telecoms companies in the country, with offices raided by the Greek competition commission, and an investigation opened by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.

I am disappointed that the UK left our club, but right now I see no reason to think that the political landscape of the UK has changed in favour of the EU. The two main parties seem to refuse to acknowledge the damage they have brought about to their country and the slight weakening of the EU too. The majority of British people apparently want to re-join but they have nobody they can realistically vote for who shares that view. I agree that the opposition do have to be a bit policy free, but an open attack on what the Tory brexit did to the should be possible, however such an attack would also be an attack on various trade unions who also supported brexit enthusiastically. A very good collection of quotes from Heseltine, hopefully more politicians will be brave enough to stand up and shine a light on brexit.

Yes...the Brixiteers scuppered UK/European intiatives for peace in our time, fought for by our valient second world war soldiers.

Absolutely brilliant video! Thank you.

Heseltine's greatest hits.

Don’t forget the Russian backed Farage and the thick as mince Reece lord snooty Mogg!

Michael hesltine is correct

Tice trying to do what he always does talk over the other person's point of view. And failed completely. Don't try and mess with a master..

Nice to see Tice being put in his place, its a pity journalists allow him to spout his bullshit without enough critical analysis and challenge.

My respect to Mr Heseltine.👍 Good words of reason and wisdom where spoken. I value his opinion. He knows that the membership of the UK was not all about business. I appreciate what he said....respect👍.

He has a spine. I think he is wrong in the Tories. But he told the UK ahead of time. So nobody can say they were not told...they were. That was not deceit, that was willful ignorance. Every one who voted for Brexit is to be blamed.

Well said Michael Hesetine ! I used to be left wing conservative when they were mature, now a bunch of lightweights with extreme right views. I’m now partyless !

That's how a great person with dignity, integrity and clarity speaks. I applaud you sir from Hungary. Wish my country had more people like you.

I'm 34 and life long labour supporter but Heseltine is an absolute legend on calling out Brexit BS. The woman in the red dress trying her best to have one original thought in her life but failing is hilarious

he is an old fossil trying to give himself some relevance again before he pops his clogs.

Don't forget Ken Clarke too. He and Heseltine the only two adults in the Tory playground.

God the current state of our MP’s are absolutely shockingly bad.

I was 18 in 1972. My parents always talked about politics and discussed issues with us. I can't imagine 'coming of age' any time around the Millennium, or after. What impression do the young get watching this shocking government in action nowadays? It was a pleasure to hear Lord Heseltine speaking, it reminded me of my memories of Government seen from the 1960's, 70's, 80's and 90's onwards. He was a Tory, but compared to the Useless Dregs we have in power now, I will forgive him for that.

Glad to see there are still wise old men in Britain.

01:59 - Thanks for that truth! "Sad that we denied Britain's historic role at the center of Europe". Let's get on with making the "Brexit Manipulators" pay the price!

Yup! And how many farmers blindly voted for BREXIT….?? That’s the question that needs answered.

Stay safe and well Lord Heseltine Your sanity is scarce in your country

He is so right, but now it’s done. How to go forward is still what is evading the country. Boris and Cameron have a lot to answer for. But not held accountable!

Lock Johnson up

The irony that it was Heseltine's retirement from the Commons that handed Johnson his first seat in Parliament on a plate. If we do ever get back into Europe, it's a racing certainty that we will never achieve the level of power and influence we enjoyed before we left.

Long live Heseltine

A true Stateman's . Thank you Lord Heseltine.

He is a breath of fresh air

Loved the way he gave Tice and Oakshot their a*ses.

Ninety one and still sharp as a tack .

A nation who thought...well we are an island, then let's vote for taxes on import/export! Just briliant! Cheers from Romania!

A very wise man with a wealth of experience, but people chose to believe charlatans who had their own agenda.

Delighted to see Michael wipe the floor with Richard Tice😎👍

Many farmers and fishermen/women voted for Brexit in the hope of getting some miracle of better trade arrangements. It was never going to do what they were conned into voting for Brexit.

Michael Hestletine has many political views which I find offensive, but political integrity is something he has in spades, and my generation will remember his fight to save Westlands and Yeovil. If I could give this compilation 1000 likes I would.

He may have many views that people find offensive and that’s fine. He believes what he believes and stands by it, he has conviction, which is fine by me

It’s bizarre to end up after the thatcher years applauding hestletine.

He and John Major were always pro EU.

He was, is so right and we should cap in hand return to the European fold. We were told a pack of bloody lies and we now pay the price. Total madness.

This is why the snp is failing in Scotland because it is not hammering brexit and what it has done to the uk! Every chance they get when they are on the bbc this should be the talking point ! Brexit is a disaster! Scotland should have got the same deal as northern Ireland and left In the European Union or let Scotland leave the uk! The European union is a far bigger and more profitable union for Scotland!
