Rezensionen

'He wasn't just my pollster, he was my pathfinder.'

- Tony Blair

'Philip was a pathbreaking political strategist as well as a warm, funny, engaging, deeply emotional and loving human being.'

- Ed Miliband

'His last battle was extraordinarily brave; but it was when he opened his arms to death, and looked it in the face, that he shook everyone he knew and a host of friends he never met.'

Andrew Marr

'What motivated him was a genuine, passionate desire to improve his world.'

George Osborne
