Now and Then


May 1997. Tony Blair was the do-no-wrong conquering hero freeing us from years of Tory mis-rule. Michael Portillo was the symbol of all that was wrong with the Tories, his defeat by Stephen Twigg in Enfield the sweetest moment of a sweet night.

2010. Tony Blair is exposed as a war-mongering poodle, his capital has sunk lower than low. Michael Portillo is presenting a series on BBC of really good rail-travel TV programmes; I am watching them and enjoying them.
