Campbell worked as Tony Blair&#039;s spokesman and campaign director in opposition (1994\u20131997), then as Downing Street Press Secretary, and as the Prime Minister&#039;s Official Spokesperson (1997\u20132000). He then became Downing Street&#039;s director of communications and spokesman for the Labour Party (2000\u20132003).\r\n\r\nCampbell was Political Editor at the Daily Mirror newspaper in the 1980s and of Today in the 1990s. Shortly after Blair was elected as Leader of the Labour Party in 1994, Campbell left the Today newspaper to become Blair&#039;s press secretary. He was one of several key people responsible for the rebranding of the Labour Party as New Labour before its victory in the 1997 general election. In addition to being the press spokesman, Campbell was Blair&#039;s speechwriter and chief strategist, earning a reputation for ruthless news management. Campbell played an important role in the run-up to the 1997 general election, working with Peter Mandelson to co-ordinate Labour&#039;s successful election campaign.\r\n\r\nWhen Labour won the general election in May 1997, Campbell served as Blair&#039;s chief press secretary. He put Downing Street briefings on record for the first time, and although he was only identified as the Prime Minister&#039;s Official Spokesman, he became one of the most high-profile and written-about figures in British politics, earning the epithet &quot;the real deputy Prime Minister&quot;. Campbell oversaw Blair&#039;s successful 2001 general election campaign for re-election. In the run-up to the Iraq War, Campbell was involved in the preparation and release of the September Dossier in 2002 and the Iraq Dossier in 2003. Campbell was accused of influencing the reports against the wishes of the intelligence services, which led to Campbell battling with the BBC as well as the general media and later resigning. He returned to assist with the successful 2005 general election campaign.\r\n\r\nSince his work for Blair, Campbell has continued to act as a freelance advisor to a number of governments and political parties, including Edi Rama, the Prime Minister of Albania.[1] He was an adviser to the People&#039;s Vote campaign, campaigning for a public vote on the final Brexit deal. He is the editor-at-large of The New World (formerly The New European) and chief interviewer for GQ. He acts as a consultant strategist and as an ambassador for Time to Change and other mental health charities. Throughout his time in Downing Street, Campbell kept a diary which reportedly totalled some two million words. Selected extracts, titled The Blair Years, were published in 2007. He expressed an intention to publish the diaries in fuller form, which he did from 2010 to 2018. In 2019, Campbell was expelled from the Labour Party after voting for the Liberal Democrats in that month&#039;s European elections. In 2022, Campbell launched the podcast The Rest Is Politics with Rory Stewart, which has been the top politics podcast in the UK in the Apple rankings since its launch.["", "image":"https://files.cdn-files-a.com/uploads/11832113/100_69bdc53675a4d.png"},{"title":""SIR BERNARD INGHAM" - INTERVIEW PART 1</a>", "file":"https://files.cdn-files-a.com/uploads/11832113/normal_69bbdf04f1c98.mp3", "howl":null, "pageUrl":"/interview-tapes-from-images-of-power-copyright-brendan-bruce-2026/interview-part-1-4", "cartUrl":"", "more_info":""Sir Bernard Ingham (21 June 1932 \u2013 24 February 2023) was a British journalist and civil servant.

He attended Magdalen College School, Oxford. He played hockey, cricket, rugby, tennis and was on the boxing team. He left school early and joined the RAF during WWII as a Path Finder Pilot.\r\n\r\nFollowing the war, he joined Proctor and Gamble as a sales representative.\r\n\r\nIn 1965 Lawson took a job with Mars as General Manager of their drinks vending business, then known as Vendepac. He was subsequently appointed President of Mars Foods in the UK. His next assignment with Mars brought him to the US in 1965 to be the head of the snackfoods division known as Jack Candies in Rockaway, NJ.\r\n\r\nLawson moved to Albany in 1978 as head of the Snackmaster Division of Mars. While in Albany he was very involved in community affairs. He was a member of the Albany Rotary Club and St&#039; Paul&#039;s Episcopal Church. Finally, in 1980, he was appointed head of Global External Relations for Mars.\r\n\r\nFollowing retirement in 1981, he returned to England and settled in Great Witcombe, Glouchestershire.\r\n\r\nBack in England, he rekindled his earlier keen interest in politics and joined the Conservative Central Office and volunteered his services to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Consequently he played a crucial part in the Conservative Party during Lady Thatcher&#039;s premiership when he was Marketing Director for both the 1983 and the 1987 elections.\r\n\r\nHe was close to both Denis and Margaret Thatcher, and often played golf with Denis. During the eight years he worked in the Conservative organization, he used his marketing skills to incorporate new methods of political communication thus streamlining the operation. In 1984 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth for his political work and a few years later was granted the Freedom of the City of London. Because of his background with Mars and his successful marketing strategy when working for Margaret Thatcher, he was dubbed &quot;The Man from Mars&quot;."", "image":""},{"title":""SIR CHRISTOPHER LAWSON" - INTERVIEW 2</a>", "file":"https://files.cdn-files-a.com/uploads/11832113/normal_69bc1c70f059e.mp3", "howl":null, "pageUrl":"", "cartUrl":"", "more_info":"""", "image":""},{"title":""LORD STEPHEN SHERBOURNE" - INTERVIEW</a>", "file":"https://files.cdn-files-a.com/uploads/11832113/normal_69bc22fbd9b11.mp3", "howl":null, "pageUrl":"", "cartUrl":"", "more_info":"""", "image":""},{"title":""HOWELL JAMES CBE" - INTERVIEW PART 1</a>", "file":"https://files.cdn-files-a.com/uploads/11832113/normal_69bdbabfd5a3b.mp3", "howl":null, "pageUrl":"/interview-tapes-from-images-of-power-copyright-brendan-bruce-2026/interview-part-1", "cartUrl":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howell_James", "more_info":""Howell James CBE is a communications adviser and former Vice-Chairman of Corporate Affairs at Barclays.

He became the newspaper&#039;s political editor in 1990, succeeding Ian Aitken; he relinquished the position to Patrick Wintour at the beginning of 2006. He retired from his Guardian positions in October 2016.\r\n In 2003, he was voted Print Journalist of the Year by MPs and Peers in The House\/BBC Parliamentary Awards.\r\n\r\nHe is a regular commentator on the BBC, introducing newspaper reviews and commenting on everything from Newsnight to Breakfast News, BBC News Channel and Question Time.

In November 1991, following the death of Mirror owner Robert Maxwell, he was involved in a physical altercation with the title&#039;s political editor Alastair Campbell, later Director of Communications for Tony Blair, over White&#039;s use of the &quot;Cap&#039;n Bob, Bob, Bob&quot; refrain.\r\n\r\nIn February 2006, White detailed the changing attitudes of the Labour Party to The Guardian. He wrote that the Blair government changed its attitude to The Guardian, from hostility towards grudging friendship as the government lost &quot;fair weather friends&quot; on other papers. &quot;It is no secret in the office, for example, that I think its coverage of the protracted crisis over Iraq since 2003, has not always been fair to Blair&#039;s position&quot;, he wrote.\r\nRegarding the Israel\u2013Palestine conflict, in July 2006 he wrote that over time his sympathies are shifting back to Israel &quot;however short-sighted and self-defeating some of its actions are&quot;.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhite, in discussing media self-censorship in March 2011, said, &quot;I have always sensed liberal, middle class ill-ease in going after stories about immigration, legal or otherwise, about welfare fraud or the less attractive tribal habits of the working class, which is more easily ignored altogether.

After a spell in Hong Kong as managing editor of The Asian, on a year\u2019s leave of absence from Times Newspapers, he was lured back to the Sunday Times in 1972 by Evans.\r\n\r\nMichael\u2019s heyday was probably in the 1980s when he and Andrew Neil, the then Sunday Times editor, were a formidable team. Though supportive of Thatcher\u2019s economic and political agenda, the newspaper was also a thorn in the government\u2019s side. On one occasion in the mid-1980s, when the pound was under pressure, he caused consternation at the Treasury by faithfully reporting the prime minister\u2019s view that you could not buck the market, even if it meant the pound falling to one-for-one parity with the dollar. It almost did.\r\n\r\nOn another occasion, in an episode featured in Netflix\u2019s The Crown, the paper reported that the Queen was dismayed by an \u201cuncaring\u201d Thatcher. Buckingham Palace and Downing Street tried to knock down the story, but Michael was able to demonstrate, and convince his old friend, Thatcher\u2019s press secretary Bernard Ingham, that it was well sourced.\r\n\r\n\u201cHe was the most brilliant political editor, a wonderful colleague and friend,\u201d said Neil, after hearing of Michael\u2019s death. \u201cWe fought so many battles together; I trusted him to the hilt.

Between 1997 and 2002 he was Chairman of the Duke of Edinburgh Award&#039;s Charter for Business, a role for which he was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in the 2000 Birthday Honours.[9] As chairman Wight helped to raise over \u00a350million for the Duke of Edinburgh Award.[7] From 1997 to 2006 he was chairman of Arts &amp; Business, a charity that encourages Business to support the arts.[10]\r\n\r\nIn 2003 Wight founded the Ideas Foundation,[11] a charity that helps identify and nurture creatively gifted young people, primarily from ethnic minority backgrounds. The organisation has collaborated with 400 schools to date and in 2016 announced a partnership with The Evening Standard.[2] In September 2016 the foundation will establish a free school in West Greenwich which will focus on creative skills.[12]\r\n\r\nWight is also on the Board of Directors at Plotr,[13] a site aimed at providing a wide variety of careers advice and guidance, including through the use of an online game.[14]\r\n\r\nMedia\r\nWight has written two books &quot;The Day The Pigs Refused To Be Driven To Market&quot; (1972), a study of advertising and consumerism and &quot;The Peacocks Tail and the Reputation Reflex; the neuroscience of arts sponsorship&quot;(2007),[15] a study of the biological purpose of art.[16] His advertising career was profiled on BBC Radio 4 in a programme titled &#039;The Most Fun You Can Have With Your Clothes On&#039;.[17]\r\n\r\nPersonal life\r\nWight married Countess Paola Kovacz von Csaky,[18] a barrister specialising in intellectual property law, in 2013.[19] He has five children from previous marriages.[3] His father, Ian, was a Brigadier in the British Army.[20] His mother, Pamela (n\u00e9e) Groves was the daughter of Air Commodore R.M. Groves, the first Deputy Chief of the Air Staff of the RAF.
