Watch this again (or watch it for the first time): Michael Heseltine on BBC’s Newsnight three weeks ago. He says that “Boris Johnson and his colleagues” should be put in charge of negotiations with the European Union and then explains why.

Incidentally, this is probably the first time I have seen a BBC interviewer so nervous, insecure and barely able to articulate his questions – it looks like an inept pairing that has drawn out social/age-related anxieties in the interviewer and left him barely able to do his job.

You needed a Jeremy Paxman type there.
