Alastair Campbell at Ilkley Literature Festival

Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell, the man who knows better than anyone where the bodies are buried, picks up the story of the crucial years when, despite having left government, his level of involvement ‘barely abated’. He begins as Lord Hutton prepares to publish his report into the death of former UN weapons inspector David Kelly, and continues as the Blair-Brown relationship is ‘fracturing almost beyond repair’ and he is tasked with devising a plan that will enable the two to come together to fight a united election campaign.
