Rawnsley enjoyed a pretty privileged education - grammar school - scholarships and Cambridge - but his long service in the Fleet Street/Westminster network and the privy relationships he has built up in that time makes his opinions hard to ignore. Rawnsley has a lot to lose if his claims turned out to be false - I imagine any working relationships he still holds in the Labour camp (at least those on Gordon's team) may have already been damaged by his "kiss-and-tell".

Public School, Oxbridge, Fleet Street? I don't call these credentials, I call it privilege. 'Currently working for The Observer as chief political commentator, his newspaper columns have won him several prestigious awards.' For what? Ant and Dec have won several prestigious awards too. ‘It is pretty hard to argue with Rawnsley’s credentials.’
