Michael Heseltine shredding these Talk TV Brexiteers is a most satisfying watch
It’s been seven years since the UK voted to leave the EU and three years since the Conservative government ‘got Brexit done’. Well, sort of.
And yet despite that time – we’re probably not going to surprise you here – the NHS is still waiting for that extra £350m a week. And all indications are that it’s been just as bad – or worse – than ‘Project Fear’ predicted.
And yet Brexiteers prepared to admit that are even thinner on the ground than Brexit benefits, such as Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott who were filling in for Piers Morgan on Talk TV.
Their guest, former deputy prime minister Michael Heseltine, was only too happy to put them right, and it’s a fabulously satisfying watch.
“You’ve had six years with your hands on the levers of power… what are your ministers doing!?”
Is Brexit “dead”? Lord Heseltine certainly thinks so…@TiceRichard | @IsabelOakeshott | @TalkTV | #PMU pic.twitter.com/tfpRsoOm7W

And here are our favourite things people said about it.

Come – for Michael Heseltine treating Tice like an idiot
Stay – to watch him laugh sarcastically when Isabel Oakeshott blames Remainers https://t.co/YmD1Wrc7cN

No ideology has had an easier ride – a vast Commons majority, a slavishly obedient popular press, all the right people in place at the BBC – I just can’t see how its ignominious and inevitable failure can now be blamed on people like Heseltine. pic.twitter.com/z7sfJAA86J

Normally they don’t put heavyweights in the ring with lightweights.
And yet here we have Lord Heseltine refusing to allow banal slogans and tropes to pass as a substitute for sensible conjecture.
Refreshing to see.

And we’re not often (never) glad to see Stanley Johnson, but this was the perfect post script.
And then Stanley Johnson saying Heseltine “wiped the floor” with them…

To conclude, this.
Heseltine could have these clowns for breakfast in his sleep but it’s still remarkable to see how completely they all fall apart under the gentlest reminders of reality. Compelling proof that ‘believing in Brexit’ is now just a whisker away from believing that the earth is flat. https://t.co/HUtervAATM
