Re:

re-read.. choices.you might have a disclaimer that you ran by the quotes of tony cherie and

gordon . for their pre approval -- if not will they retaliate with their own private quotes? it needs your own thought processes, your dilemas both political and moral. I think you want to be sensitive to the fact , that it reads as if Gordon brings you back for your communicatoin skills. stragetic thinking and political insight and then the outcome is

I am on your team.. that being said, as currently written the chances of a jpm positon would be zero

I don't think jpm would bother reading it. In the US, memoirs are totally bland. In UK, such blandness wouldn't be published.

I will always give you my best advice. At the level at which you want to /capable of playing, it serves no purpose. except short term cash flow needs. IT will be seen as a tabloid tell all. cherie spoke to me on the phone, in her living room , tony was -- blank over cheries carelessness. tony said of gordon , it was really tony that said. if you have to publish , first make everyone look good. not flawed. Your next partners want to be sure. of the same treatment, alternatively maybe it best if you wait to publish and respond to tb's , alistairs and gordons books in case they trash you

No, waiting is not the answer. You are misreading the m/s. It is not a missile attack. Everyone comes out fine in the end. Tony. Cherie. Gordon. Even Jack Straw. And the intro will make clear the purpose and balance ofit.

• But I have had a thirty year career in politics. I have things to say about it, and the future. It is not salacious or scandalous. It is serious politics and commentary about organisations and how people interact. It also needs to be readable !

I understand. conversations were had that others at the time considered private.

I am VERY selective about conversations. And I certainly cdn't publish after taking a position with jpm.

I need to be careful. But I am not an anodyne person. That's why I get things done.

the risk , is that gordon tony, or someone else gets traction suggesting that you are revealing confidences for your own short term interests.,

Tony will be fine - considering what A's diaries were like. And his next installment in 3 weeks time will be the unexpurgated version, making my book look very tame. G will be silent. His people will murmur but go nowhere.
