The first volume of Piers Morgan's Diaries,
THE INSIDER, was good enough for me to rank it at Number 5 in my
Top Ten Political Diaries list. The follow up,
DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM has just been published and it's just as juicy. I have just started reading it and will be bringing you some tasters over the next couple of weeks. How about this one for starters. Picture the scene. Piers is at a jewish fundraising dinner at which the Blairs are present. Lord Levy comes over to Morgan's table and the following conversation takes place...
'Hi mate, how are things?' he said cheerily.
'I'm fine thanks, Michael. How's it going your end? I see Milburn's beginning to make a few leadership noises...'
'Fuck Milburn,' said Levy, with a steely glint in his eye. 'If he makes any attempt to make a move on Tony then I will gusrantee that none of the money in this room goes anywhere near him. let's see how he gets on then, shall we.'
I laughed. You'd want Michael Levy on your side, definitely.
Indeed.

Forgive my ignorance, but wasn't Morgan's last book full of shit, as recorded by Private Eye?
I understand that accounts were just 'made up' (eg, events happening before they took place etc).
I'm as hungry for gossip as the next co-conspirator, but only if it's got some credence to it...
The truth is we know Morgan makes things up. So we have no idea how true any of this is. If that story *is* true, though, it would simply serve to illustrate how little either Morgan of Levy know about Labour politics. They must have been the only people on the planet who thought an Alan Milburn leadership move was designed to undermine Blair as opposed to his next door neighbour. So - fool or knave - you decide.
Mr Dale,
A most unfortunate (not to say inappropriate) headline for this Easter Day.
His Grace wishes peace, joy, and blessings upon you and yours.
