Boy, do I remember that night! I was at the count for our local seat after campaigning vigourously - probably one of the best nights ever for the Labour Party! Michael Portillo losing was, indeed, the highlight!

I've heard Tony speak and it is mesmerising, he can really hold an audience and win you over. Personally, I think he's one of the best Parliamentary debaters we've had in the UK for a very long time. How things will go now will be interesting.
