Michael Heseltine tells @europeanmovement.co.uk event that the Farage's Reform and European populist far right parties are “equivalents to the fascists of the thirties” and adds: ”We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. We don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near No.10.” ~AA 🔥

@Peston
Heseltine has just addressed a packed meeting of the European Movement at Tory conference. He does not show the restraint of most party leaders in his critique of Farage and Reform: “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…We must make clear that we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Nigel Farage. We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. we don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near Number 10.”

Unlike Jenrick & Badenoch, Heseltine has no wish to preside over the smoking, toxic ruins of the Conservative Party. This means he's able to tell the truth about Farage & Reform with no fear that this alienate puce-faced racists in golf-club blazers.

On February 20, 1933, about 25 of Nazi Germany’s most important businessmen met with Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring at the Reichstag Palace, and contributed 3,000,000 Reichsmarks to the regime. A few years later, some of them sponsored the concentration camps and medical experiments on prisoners.

This is embarrassing.

Trump hosted an oligarchs’ dinner at the White House last night. The main course was kissing his ring.

He’s going to take credit for investment plans they already made.
