If you have a GQ magazine subscription, you may be surprised to find out who their latest contributor is… because it’s none other than political aide Alastair Campbell.
Campbell will be probing a whole host of people in hard-hitting interviews. However, he won’t just be sticking to politics though, he’ll also get to grips with sport, business and media.
Speaking about his new role, Alastair Campbell said: “To be frank, I did not think I was well dressed enough, or cool enough, ever to get approached by GQ, so I was quite surprised when Dylan Jones asked me to do this. But I like the fact that GQ has a tradition of giving a lot of space to big interviews, and to letting the interviewee get their voice heard, so after making a few stipulations - like never describing me, verbally or in print, as Piers Morgan's successor - I said yes. When I was a full-time journalist, I always enjoyed big interviews and I am pleased GQ want me not just to do politics, but figures from sport, business, culture, other aspects of life that I find interesting. I also hope I can bring a bit of lefty influence to the magazine. There is something not quite right about having an editor who slopes off to write sympathetic books about David Cameron, and makes Benedict Cumberbatch the GQ man of the year. GQ should be the magazine for State schools, not Eton and Harrow. More anon.”
