Or is he?
Michael Heseltine, as befits any enthusiast for the neoliberal EU, has in his time privatised more of the British economy than any other Minister ever.
Heseltine's resignation from the Cabinet as long ago as January 1986 began the Conservative Leadership contest that has been going on continuously ever since, coming up to 27 years and with not the slightest sign of ever ending.
Apart from Gordon Brown, no one has become Prime Minister without Heseltine's endorsement in 22 years next month, and counting.
Heseltine bequeathed a grateful nation the Council Tax.
And even now, Hesltine has an office in the Business Department, at the desk of which he presents himself on most working days, for all practical purposes a senior and powerful member of the Government.
