Tony Blair has always said he will be judged by history. Now Alastair Campbell is history we await his judgment.

In a more intellectually rigorous age, I wouldn't be talked about as a satirist at all. I would just be a topical comedian.

Politics now is rather like going into Starbucks for a coffee.

It is a weird thing, because most people tend to get more conservative as they get older, but I find myself going the opposite way. I am sure that by the end I will be selling Marxist pamphlets on the Holloway Road.
