SIX years, this September. Six years in which my spare time, much of my income, and most of my nerves were stolen by the Labour Party. Six years of highs and mostly lows, in which the depths of human nature became too familiar.
In a media and business career lasting 30 years I have never met deceitful, vindictive and nasty people such as I have in the Labour Party. Not in the cut-throat world of marine finance, political journalism or taking humanitarian aid through the most dangerous parts of the Middle East. Not even in the bear pit atmosphere of the Today Programme or Channel 4 News or News at Ten – all of which I worked on.
