The BBC host pointed out to the former Tory politician that, should Boris Johnson win today's election, his time would be "over" and the old political establishment he

represents together with former Prime Ministers like John Major and Tony Blair would soon be replaced by a new kind of politics. Andrew Neil said: “If Mr Johnson does win his overall

majority and we proceed with the Brexit process of formally leaving and then moving into transition period, isn’t that a watershed? “Doesn’t that mark the end of the dominance of the

establishment of which you have been a part, and Tony Blair and John Major and Ken Clarke? “Your time is over! That time is over and we move into a different type of Britain.” In an attempt

to shift the conversation onto his social background, Lord Heseltine replied: “Andrew, you must know that without making any great further claims of social background, I don’t come from the

establishment. “My father went to school at Swansea Grammar School.” READ MORE: HESELTINE BIZZARELY PROCLAIMS HE IS PROUD CONSERVATIVE  But as Andrew Neil caught his trick, he soon

interrupted the former Tory and said: “I wasn’t talking about social backgrounds, Michael Heseltine, I was talking about the people running this country.” To which Lord Heseltine defensively

replied: “Well, I’m sorry about that but I’m talking about the memory therefore of every Prime Minister, Conservative Prime Minister, that I’ve ever worked for. “And frankly, I am not

prepared to shift my integrity because my party has shifted. “That’s the truth of the matter, and I believe everything I said about the European venture and the opportunity and the

prosperity and the security. “And every Prime Minister I worked for said the same thing, and simply because Nigel Farage has emerged and frightened my party to the right-wing, I’m not going

with it.”   This widget requires javascript to work. ");return aA};var O=function(aH,aD,aC){var aB=r("");aB.addClass("du-pt-"+aH);aB.append("");var
