CAMPBELL TAKES QUESTIONS
ALASTAIR Campbell, former Director of
Communications for New Labour and official spokesperson for Tony Blair, will be answering
questions from the public at The Bridgewater Hall on Tuesday 16 March.
Campbell resigned six months ago having played a pivotal role at the heart of the British political system. He acknowledged that it had been an enormous privilege to hold arguably the most prestigious communications role in the country, but said he
wanted to move on and spend more time with his partner Fiona and their three children. He remains Prime Minister Tony Blair's close friend and confidante.
He will be fielding questions on the evening of the 16 February and is aware that the people of the North West have a range of issues relevant to them they may put to him.
"I have always enjoyed the cut and thrust of political debate. I feel I have something to say about the state of modern politics and the state of modern media and I'm looking forward to discussing these ideas with the audience in Manchester," says Campbell.
In this "no holds barred" event, he will take questions directly from the audience following his 45 minute talk about his beliefs and motivations together with his experience of British politics from the inside.
