Powerful from Lord Heseltine: "I am dismayed by the drift of events in world politics. the economic collapse of 2008 and the covid crisis have seriously contributed to the lack of confidence in governments and the right wing equivalents to the fascists of the thirties are back on the march: Le Pen in France, AfD in Germany, Fdl in Italy, Vox in Spain and conspicuously Reform in this country. Much of President Trump's language in America coincides with words here in Europe. The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem which needs a solution although recent events here have cast a dark shadow."

He says Thatcher is often portrayed as very right-wing, but tells the audience she had no objection to his "interventionalist" policies. "She was in truth much more practical that docturnal"
