Lewington on New Labour
- Alistair Campbell was a thug but it was his job. I think the problem for New Labour was that there was a culture of spin throughout the Party, which meant they were never good at managing expectations. For example, they gave the impression that they could solve the problems of the National Health Service overnight but life doesn’t work like that.[2]
