EDITORS COMMENTS
Michael Heseltine, a prominent Conservative politician of the 1980s, walks out of the Ministry of Defence with an air of determination and resilience. This powerful image captures a significant moment in British political history - his resignation as Minister for Defence on January 9th, 1986. Heseltine's departure from office was prompted by the infamous Westland affair, which shook the foundations of Margaret Thatcher's government. As Secretary of State for Defence, he found himself at odds with his colleagues over the future direction of Westland Helicopters. His principled stance led to his decision to step down from this crucial role. In this photograph by David New, Heseltine exudes strength and conviction even in the face of adversity. The lines etched on his face tell a story of years spent navigating complex political landscapes. With every stride he takes away from that iconic building, it is clear that he leaves behind not only a position but also an indelible mark on British politics. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Heseltine's unwavering commitment to public service and his willingness to stand up for what he believed was right. It encapsulates an era defined by fierce debates within the Tory party and highlights one man's courage to take a stand against prevailing opinions. David New has expertly captured this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to reflect upon both Heseltine's personal journey and its wider significance within British politics.
