An outspoken critic of Brexit, Lord Heseltine’s political career has spanned over five decades. Serving in both the Cabinets of Thatcher and Major, Lord Heseltine was Deputy Prime Minister and First Secretary of State from 1995- 97. Throughout his political career, Lord Heseltine has been a proponent of Conservative modernisation. His support for the regeneration of Liverpool in the early 1980s and opposition to the Poll Tax of 1990, resulted in his eventual alienation from the Thatcher administration. Lord Heseltine was Treasurer of the Union sixty-five years ago this Trinity, going on to serve as its President the term after.
