PS - I do note that Iain's credit link to you <a href="http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2007/05/alastair-campbell-is-liar-says-howard.html" rel="nofollow">in this post</a> is somewhat lacking in exactitude. Perhaps you could tell him that you personally do not fear the dark, shadowy lands of Deeplink. Now, who else can we think of who is bullying and lying their way across our political life?

I watched it last night and was mesmerised by Howard's coolness and Campbell's attempt at nonchalance as he tried to hold back his rage. As you, say it was a pity that it was Michael Howard that said it, but somebody had to. If only it had been said earlier. I’m so glad it made it to YouTube.

It was a riveting moment. You could have heard a pin drop. Howard looked as much like a creature of the night as he has ever done, and Campbell would, you suspect, have given every penny of his book deal to have had a stake handy. Great TV. And, of course, he's absolutely right. I watched this last night, and wondered how long it would take to make it to YouTube. It was a riveting moment. You could have heard a pin drop.

As someone who, as a journalist, was on the arse end of Campbell's rants a number of times I found a warm glow spread across me as Howard said that.
