According to the Telegraph:
- Richard Ritchie, an oil executive with BP, met Portillo when he came down from Cambridge. "I was working for Enoch Powell as an archivist. We all went to the opera together. Enoch would say vote for Portillo. He was amused to discover someone almost as ambitious as he was. Michael hasn't changed fundamentally over the years."[2]
