“On the Daily Politics on BBC2, we have a new winner in the unpopularity stakes. We encourage viewers to email their comments on the issues of the day but, more often than not, they have something to say about the guests. For several years now, Alastair Campbell has been by far the most hated. His face only has to appear on the screen and the emails pour in, most of them unreadable on air, many threatening never to watch the show again.That hasn’t dissuaded us – Alastair makes a fine guest – and he’s lost his crown anyway. That’s been taken by another former spin doctor, now turned psychiatrist, Derek Draper, whose appearance to talk about his LabourList blog produced an unprecedented avalanche of abuse.“
