What Heseltine has said.
'I like you. You're a rogue. You have no sense of integrity': Tory peer's damning message to Boris Johnson
Former prominent cabinet member and Tory peer Lord Heseltine has been speaking to Sky News.
A man who played a central role in the ousting of Margaret Thatcher in 1990, he said of the latest developments: "I think it's part of a process that had become inevitable since the 148 backbenchers voted against the prime minister and Michael Howard and William Hague, as former leaders of the Conservative Party, said he had to go.
"It was only a matter of time before the boil was lanced, and that's what has now happened."
Asked what his message to Boris Johnson would be now, he said: "He knows what I would say to him. 'Boris, I like you. You're a rogue. You have no sense of integrity. When took over my constituency, we had a good personal relationship. Your fundamental weakness is you have absolutely no sense of truth or integrity. And your career, since you became leader of the party, has been one serious disaster after another. The biggest of them all being Brexit.
"And the one characteristic they all had in common is that you don't know the difference between truth and non truth. You use the truth when it's convenient. You disregard it when it's not. And the consequence is now we have the most serious economic crisis, we have a major threat to the United Kingdom and you have trounced Britain's reputation across the world."
While he has long been a critic of Mr Johnson, his assessment could hardly be more damning.
