Michael Heseltine has vowed to vote for the Liberal Democrats in the Euro elections because the Conservative party has been 'infected by the virus of extremism'. His comments come as a new poll shows Boris Johnson is on his way to be the next prime minister. He went on to say that while he would vote with the Tory party in the Lords and stay a member of his local association, he cannot vote for them because of their position on Brexit. The former prime minister told The Sunday Times that the need for an inclusive Tory party is 'greater than ever', and warned: 'The middle ground of politics is empty.' The Brexit Party are predicted to win the vote next week, with a Comres poll placing them on 31 per cent.
