Lord Heseltine: ‘British public know now Brexit was a mistake’<\/h3>\n

Lord Heseltine appeared on Sky News to respond to David Cameron\u2019s appointment as Foreign Secretary in a Cabinet reshuffle following the sacking of Suella Braverman.<\/p>\n

The former Prime Minister, who stepped down from the top job and left politics seven years ago, has been announced as the replacement for James Cleverly, who is moving to the Home Office.<\/p>\n

Lord Heseltine spoke of David Cameron\u2019s \u201csympathy\u201d for the EU and how the British public \u201cknows that Brexit was a mistake\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sky News\u2019s Sophy Ridge asked the former deputy prime minister: \u201cThere will be people listening to this interview who think: ‘Look, Lord Heseltine, you\u2019re almost the epitome of the Remain Conservative – David Cameron, as well, he was the guy who spearheaded the campaign – of course, you\u2019re going to be pleased that he\u2019s back.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what does that say to voters who voted for Brexit? Who deeply believe that David Cameron and yourself were taking the Conservative Party in the wrong direction and that you\u2019re going back to those years?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lord Heseltine replied: \u201cI\u2019m delighted you asked that question because of course the British public now know that Brexit was a mistake and they know what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were told a pack of lies, led by Boris Johnson and encouraged by Nigel Farage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want that sort of thing, if you want to be a part of a society that is duped into believing that the world is different to what it is, that there are opportunities for us that don\u2019t exist, well then listen to the Boris Johnson\u2019s of this world, listen to Nigel Farage.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut frankly, the Conservative Party that I belong to is the Conservative Party of Churchill, Macmillan, Heath, Thatcher, who would\u2019ve absolutely been appalled by the idea that we should turn our back on Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong many of the benefits of David Cameron\u2019s return to frontline politics is the fact that he is patently sympathetic to Britain\u2019s position in Europe and that, I think, will be helpful politically to the Conservative Party but right for the best interests of this country and particularly the younger generation know that the severing of our relationship to Europe has done significant harm to their prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n
