Michael Heseltine: ‘The adults are back in charge’ : The Tory grandee on turning 90, ‘levelling up’ Liverpool — and whether Britain will rejoin the EU
ft.com/content/cd91db6f-e9d6-45dc-b92f-404dc8f2724e
Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: "The adults are back in charge" says Michael Heseltine.
- Thatcher and Heseltine were political soulmates at first.
- Chancellor Jeremy Hunt mentioned Heseltine as a trailblazer for urban regeneration in his budget statement this week.
- Four years later, Heseltine challenged Thatcher for the Tory leadership, effectively ending her 11-year reign.
- Heseltine went on to serve as Major's deputy prime minister (refusing to run against him in the 1995 Tory leadership election), before being deposed by Tony Blair's Labour landslide in 1997.

Quick Glance: Johnson is set to receive a £18,000 pay-off, although this will be swamped by private-sector wages.
- Boris Johnson is entitled to a £18,000 golden goodbye and an annual stipend of up to £115,000 after resigning as Prime Minister.
- Mr Johnson will earn £18,860 in severance pay for resigning, which is a fifth of his prime ministerial salary of £75,440.
- Ministerial and PM pensions are calculated at 1/40th or 1/50th of an individual's last salary in the job, thus the most Mr Johnson could have contributed directly during his five years in office would have been roughly £9,000.
History will judge Boris Johnson harshly after so many scandals, whatever his achievements

Quick Glance: Six years later, the biggest legacy of Brexit is the lies that will outlive Boris Johnson.
- Johnson isn't the only one who lies.
- When pressed last week to name the benefits of Brexit, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng ignored the economy entirely, instead suggesting that it enabled Britain respond quickly to the situation in Ukraine.) But we need someone to tell the truth about Brexit.
- It's soothing to tell ourselves that Johnson is the source of the lies and that getting rid of him is the remedy.
- The only way to restore political integrity is to tell the truth about Brexit.
