Alastair Campbell's goldmine
Asked why he had chosen to remove entries that dealt with the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, Alastair Campbell said:
I’m not going to deny there were times when relations were pretty tense and some pretty harsh things were said; they were. What I’m not going to do is publish a book that leads David Cameron to think that he’s got a goldmine to use against the new Prime Minister.
This, of course, is an admission that the behaviour was so bad that if Alastair had published his true record they would have been a goldmine.
