Tony [blair] Slowly Sucked Me Back In

I Had A Happy Childhood.

Clinton Is A Big Personality Who Has Led A Big Life, And For Some Of The Media Conventional Wisdom To Boil It Down To A View That 'all People Are Really Interested In' Are A Few Moments Of Madness In The Oval Office Gets Him, The Importance Of The Presidency, And The Significance Of His Life, All Wrong.

I Do Think It's Strange That I Get Associated With Iraq More Than The People Who Were Foreign Secretary Or Defence Secretary. It's Because Of My Closeness To Tony [blair], Which I Don't Regret At All. I Think That Was A Privilege.

May I Share With You My Earliest Memory Of A Political Row? It Was With My Mother, About The Queen - Classic Freudian Stuff, Shrinks Would Say. I Was Eight, And Refusing To Watch The Queen's Christmas Day Broadcast.

I Remember Talking To Alex Ferguson About Tony [blair] And Gordon [brown], And He Said: "why Doesn't Tony Just Get Rid Of Him?" But If You Sack Someone In Football, They Can't Turn Up To Training The Next Day. In Politics They're Still On The Pitch. Gordon Would Still Have Been A Big Player.
