Like many of his contemporaries he used the chance of attending grammar schools and the opportunities that they brought. He was able to study modern languages in French and German and took some time to teach in France as part of his course. He has had many varied roles before taking on the role of a news reporter for the Mirror Group newspapers organisation. He also spent time working as a journalist at a local level.
He is best known as the head for communications for the Labour party during its most successful period, much of which he was the architect of. Combined with the leadership of Blair he was instrumental in the Labour party achieving 3 successive terms for the first time in its history.
