Key Facts"The adults are back in charge" says Michael Heseltine.

Thatcher and Heseltine were political soulmates at first.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt mentioned Heseltine as a trailblazer for urban regeneration in his budget statement this week.

Four years later, Heseltine challenged Thatcher for the Tory leadership, effectively ending her 11-year reign.

Heseltine went on to serve as Major's deputy prime minister (refusing to run against him in the 1995 Tory leadership election), before being deposed by Tony Blair's Labour landslide in 1997.
