	Conservative Party (UK) leadership election, 1990 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within a week, another critic, former minister Michael Heseltine, had announced that he would challenge her for the leadership of the party.
		Although Heseltine was known to be a serious contender for the leadership in his own right, many saw him also fulfilling the role of a "stalking horse" to push Thatcher out and pave the way for victory by a third candidate in a later round.
		Douglas Hurd was re-appointed as Foreign Secretary and Michael Heseltine returned to the Cabinet as Environment Secretary, a post he had held in the early 1980s.

		Heseltine recalls: 'We were faced with a whole range of forces driving people out of city centres.' He lists brownfield blight, failing local authorities and comprehensive education which 'created a geographic segregation between inner-city ghetto schools and suburban schools'.
		Heseltine believes that, in true trickle-down fashion, enterprise policies of the Thatcher years have injected prosperity back into the cities and 'a new entrepreneurial class is emerging in the provinces with wealth'.
		Heseltine is disappointed by what has come in its place (a 'non-job') and the government's failure to give the mayor proper authority when what is really needed 'is a landslide of power from the overbearing centralism of Whitehall'.

		HESELTINE: It would be wrong to suggest there is any difference of approach on this matter, what the immediate priority is of the Chancellor are to get down the levels of public expenditure as a consequence of which he'll get down the level of public borrowing.
		HESELTINE: Oh yes yes but it..the principle is the one that we are talking about, you will not find me divided from my colleagues and you will certainly not hear of any discussions that have gone on between me and my colleagues other than from them.

	Tarzan swings his last and ends up high
		Michael Heseltine will go down in history as the man whose volcanic personal ambition led to the fall of Margaret Thatcher when he stood against her in the leadership election of November 1990.
		It was in 1986 that Heseltine's resentment of Mrs Thatcher first became uncontainable and he stormed from the Cabinet, pausing to check his appearance in the Downing Street lavatory, because she would not accept his plan for Westland, an ailing West Country helicopter firm.
		To this day Heseltine, with Kenneth Clarke, is the man to whom the Europhiles in the party turn when wondering how far they can go in their latest letter to the Independent, calling for a more positive Tory approach to the euro.

		He was named defence secretary in 1983 with a brief to curb defence expenditure in the wake of the Falklands war, but instead concentrated on a propaganda war against the CND, even setting up a separate department for the purpose.
		Mr Heseltine's big-idea imagination saw the possibility of redeveloping rundown east London as a great "east London corridor", with the Millennium Dome as its centrepiece.

	Britain: Leading Tory calls for inquiry into Iraq war
		Conservative Lord Michael Heseltine, who was deputy prime minister and defence minister in Margaret Thatcher’s governments, has called for the convening of a new inquiry focusing on the government’s claims concerning Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
		Heseltine is correct in his criticisms of the Hutton inquiry, which has been set up with the purpose of covering over how Blair and his government traduced democratic norms in order to drag an unwilling country into an illegal war.
		Heseltine claims that the composition of this inquiry—it was led by Lord Franks, a leading public servant and included two former Labour and two former Tory ministers—made it a more rigorous and challenging body.

		MICHAEL HESELTINE: Well I assume both those descriptions apply to Tony Blair because the fact is that he has changed his mind on all the major issues of recent history.
		HESELTINE: No, no, it is always the reality of what comes out, and you know it and the fact is therefore it is important that we should reveal that Labour will have a budget to put up taxes within weeks of an election if they win it, which they won't.
		HESELTINE: If we were going to fiddle the figures we'd have to get the British Civil Service to do it for us, they would not do it, we have the greatest and most independent Civil Service in the world and they would contemptuously dismiss any suggestion that a Government could fiddle the figures.
