I once did the marketing for a concert of his at the 02 - it was like him bring interviewed and then artists did songs from the era of his life he had just done an anecdote about with people like Weller and Josh Glynn performing. Anyway, I just got the impression half his stories were over exaggerated for entertainment value and some were just guff.

There aren't many MPs who had a manual job before entering politics nowadays

Probably an inevitable result of the decline of the unions

Good stuff. 

Can you imagine the uproar now, if a senior figure commented to his opposite number with a reference to "Judy".
