What ambition?
He was Chancellor and wasn't going to make PM. In fact, he was backing Heseltine for PM but in the event, Major got in.
He advised magge to quit like many other so called loyal ministers, to back heselltine speaks for itself a an act of treachery, as it was heselltine that brought her down.
Blup
Blup, you got him wrong on every level, as documented, don't double down, quit while you're losing.
