For an educated man he never came off as particularly intelligent He's probably the most intelligent PM this country had in the 20th C. He's very intelligent, but strangely devoid of ideas and convictions, which I suspect is what Toby was getting at. He often took quite a superficial approach and interest in policy. I'd really recommend this book if you want an insight into him. Sorry tried to post a picture, but anyway Andrew Rawnsley End of the Party. It's the definitive account of New Labour. Highly readable and entertaining.

G's right - there's very little meaning behind anything he said, even though I was intrigued by his conversion to Catholicism.
