“On the contrary, I’m not sureIain Dale has said enough! He’s one of the sharpest and best-informedcommentators, particularly on Conservative politics, with a healthy dose ofmuch-needed common sense. Keep going!” – David Cameron“Iain’s sharp eye, seasonedjudgement and matching insight all make him a national treasure.” – GillianReynolds“I have enjoyed beinginterviewed hundreds of times, maybe thousands, and Iain stands out among thoseinterviewers. You might ask why. The answer is simple. He is a selflessinterviewer who does his research thoroughly and allows the subject to speakwithout taking over himself.” – Sir Cliff Richard“Funny, touching, unflinching –he’s as easy to read as he is to listen to. My kind of book from my kind ofbroadcaster.” – Gyles Brandreth“The answer to the question is‘No’ – I can never hear enough from Iain Dale.” – Piers Morgan“Be afraid, very afraid.” –Sarah Vine“Serious, funny and real. What alife!” – Yasmin Alibhai-Brown“Iain Dale is one of the realnice guys. One of the smartest interviewers and commentators on UK politics,with a huge backdrop of experience and a huge smattering of fun.” – SirBrandon Lewis“Full of fun, insight andwarmth, but do please avoid Chapter 6!” – Ann Widdecombe“Not only a great broadcaster,commentator and networker but also a remarkably nice bloke for a Tory.” –Jacqui Smith“Humanity, wit and warmth –reminds us why Iain Dale is one of the nation’s favourite broadcasters” – DrTessa Dunlop“Many things have been writtenand said about Iain Dale, some true and some decidedly not. His fascinatingstory is here for all to read, but what isn’t in this book is his steadfast andloyal friendship to so many over the years. We have been the lucky recipients –he’s the pearl in the oyster.” – Christine Hamilton“I’ve been Iain’s producer forsix years now – and, for better or worse, I spend more time with him than mostof my family. So you can believe me when I say he is a supportive, kind andhilarious colleague who has mentored and inspired dozens of young journalists.And he likes Lilt.” – Corey Froggatt
