Tony Blair’s former press czar, Alastair Campbell, has released his memoirs today. Campbell was notable for his influence on the Blair government almost until 2003. His book: “The Blair Years” apparently fetched close to £1 million from publisher Random House. The BBC has highlighted some interesting points to the book:
Bush to Blair before the Commons debate to go into Iraq: “If you win the vote in Parliament, I’ll kiss your ass.”‘
Campbell on Blair about the September 11th Attacks: “He’d been going on about Bin Laden for a while because there had been so much intelligence about him and al-Qaeda.”
