Tony [Blair] slowly sucked me back in for the 2005 campaign, and from six months out, I was basically working full time trying to keep the Tony[Blair] - Gordon[Brown] thing together for the campaign. It was awful.

Don't accept that you are in crisis just because everyone says you are.

I'm certainly driven, I hate losing, I can be ruthless and short-tempered and terribly competitive.

One in four of us will have a mental illness at some point. That is a lot of people.

I will continue to help the political causes I believe in in any way I can.
