"They can kick me out but as long as I have the breath to utter I will defend the values that I learned from Winston Churchill on through every British Prime Minister." Lord Heseltine says he'll "stay and fight" in the Conservative Party.

There are a lot of people in this country who could do with watching Thomas More's little speech on the Devil and The Law in A Man for All Seasons.

MORE: And go he should, if he was the Devil himself, until he broke the law!

ROPER: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!

MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

ROPER: I’d cut down every law in England to do that!

MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you--where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast--man's laws, not God's--and if you cut them down--and you're just the man to do it--d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes. I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
