Liverpool Literary Festival presents: an evening with Lord Michael Heseltine
Published on
The Heseltine Institute for Public Policy, Practice and Place will welcome The Rt. Hon Lord Heseltine CH to Liverpool next month.
On Monday 3 March at 6pm, Lord Heseltine will discuss his latest memoir ‘From Acorns to Oaks: An Urgent Agenda to Rebuild Britain’ in St George’s Hall.
Described as “a delight” by Daniel Finkelstein at The Times, this book documents Lord Heseltine’s return to the corridors of power within David Cameron’s government, offering a damning assessment of what he considers the grievous act of self-harm inflicted on Britain by Brexit.
Lord Heseltine, who was given Freedom of Liverpool in 2012, was described as ‘Minister for Merseyside’ in the 1980s for his work in helping to rebuild the region following the Toxteth riots. He served as the Secretary of State for the Environment and the Secretary of State for Defence, a position he resigned following the Westland affair. He challenged Margaret Thatcher to a contest for the leadership of the Conservative Party which led to her resignation in 1990.
Lord Heseltine will be in conversation about his illustrious career with Heseltine Institute Ambassador, Professor Michael Parkinson CBE in the magnificent concert room at St George’s Hall.
The event will last for an hour, including Q&A with the audience. This will be followed by a book signing where attendees will have the opportunity to buy copies of Lord Heseltine’s new memoir.
The event is free to attend, but please register to secure your place here.
