I'm disappointed that Peter Mandelson has released his 'memoirs' so soon after the general election, when Labour needs to regain public trust, and of course, public image. I haven't read it yet, and I always think that you don't have the grounds to fully criticise something if you haven't read/watched/experienced it. It's easy to judge it negatively when extracts on Blair and Brown have been published across the mainstream media, representing them in a less than perfect light.
One good thing which could come from Mandy's book is that the public will see a more 'human' side to the past leaders, which is hard to find in Cameron and Clegg. But I think the book's release just confirms what many had already thought about the politician who has been given so many chances in the Party; that his main priorities appear to be himself, his image, and his money.
