I’m afraid that if you emigrate to Dubai for the tax breaks and 24-hour security, you really should give up your citizenship here for someone who wants it.

No one still alive has seen as much of the Tory party as Heseltine. He was involved in Concorde negotiations… When I research More Jam Tomorrow, he keeps popping up.

Watching the Conservatives’ extinction must hurt him profoundly in ways it’s hard for Bluesky to imagine.

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

Yes, of course. I'm Muslim too and don't have any family members who are even remotely anti Semitic. But then in Persian diaspora, historically there's never been any antisemitism.

Unfortunately, this is much more rampant in UK Muslim communities than most white libs know (or would admit) even before October 2023!
