Former senior government press officer Jamie McDonald has returned from the wilderness. After leaving government, he bought a Croft in his native Scotland. Almost a decade on, refreshed and reinvigorated, he’s recently joined PR firm Brunswick where he’ll be advising high profile clients on media strategy.
“Politics...” says McDonald, “...was a big part of my life. But now I am able to ignore my mobile phone for a few hours.”
For a man with a reputation for being as profane as his one time boss, Malcolm Tucker, he seems to have turned over a new leaf. He thanks his partner, former civil servant Judy Molloy, for that.
He won’t be drawn on Brexit or the Labour Party today. A smirking NOMFUP is his only comment.
