He said he asked Tony Blair to take part in this in 2001 and it was agreed in principle - but then Alastair Campbell made sure that it was never negotiated. He said: "It was like trying to nail jelly to a wall trying to get them to agree to it."
Blair versus Hague would have been a bit of a damp squib, might I suggest. But there's a fair few debates between previous party leaders which would have been worth missing Coronation Street for. My top five: 1987 Thatcher v Kinnock, 1970 Heath v Wilson, 1950 Attlee v Churchill, 1868 Gladstone v Disraeli, 1830 Duke of Wellington v Marquess of Lansdowne. Although I'm kind of guessing on that last one.
