Caption: Michael Heseltine Criticises Conservative Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric. Michael Heseltine criticised Tory leaders for anti-immigrant rhetoric, warning it harms party values and image. He singled out Kemi Badenoch and others for using language that fuels division and prejudice instead of addressing real issues. Heseltine condemned Robert Jenrick’s remarks about Birmingham, warning they risk inflaming racial tensions. He urged the Conservatives not to imitate Reform UK or align with Nigel Farage’s populist messaging. Heseltine warned current UK and global political rhetoric echoes the rise of 1930s European fascism. He reiterated his opposition to Brexit, citing polls showing more Britons now regret leaving the EU. Heseltine warned the rise of far-right movements in Europe and the West stems from declining trust in government. He outlined five priorities for Conservative renewal: defence, economy, rule of law, environment, and global influence.
