Greg Dyke Is On Record

I Have A Nightmare About Tony [blair] And Gordon [brown] Killing Each Other. Not Every Month, But Now And Then. I Also Have A Recurring Dream About Losing.

So Here Is One Of My Theories On Happiness: We Cannot Know If We Have Lived A Truly Happy Life Until The Very End. This View Of Life And Death Was Reinforced By My Close Witnessing Of The Buildup To The Death Of Philip Gould. Philip Was Without Doubt My Closest Friend In Politics. When He Died, I Felt Like I Had Lost A Limb.

One Day, We Will Look Back And Wonder How On Earth We Used To Believe That Depression Was A Lifestyle Choice, Only To Be Debated And Taken Seriously When An A List Film Star Took His Life, And The World Filled With People Saying How Shocked And Saddened They Were.

Like Most Meaningful Activities, Campaigns Are Team Games.

I Remember Talking To Alex Ferguson About Tony [blair] And Gordon [brown], And He Said: "why Doesn't Tony Just Get Rid Of Him?" But If You Sack Someone In Football, They Can't Turn Up To Training The Next Day. In Politics They're Still On The Pitch. Gordon Would Still Have Been A Big Player.
