What is the "grandeedom" that Toby Helm refers to? Michael Heseltine has no popular following in the Conservative Party, not even a residue from the days when he was Deputy Prime Minister (everything he touched in those days withered and blackened like some cursed unfortunate created by the Brothers Grimm). Nor can grandeedom refer to the old buffers in the Carlton Club, most of whom even now would prefer Margaret to return to the helm. Possibly grandeedom is a reference to the Tory benches in the House of Lords, but again I think you would struggle to find much sympathy for Baron Judas of Thenford in the County of Northamptonshire.
