	Amanda Platell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amanda Jane Platell (born 12 November 1957 in Perth, Western Australia) is a media personality and former press secretary of William Hague, leader of the Conservative Party from 1997 to 2001.
		In July 2001 "Unspun - Amanda Platell's Secret Diary" was broadcast which was recorded each night during the election campaign - the secret nature of this film meant she was attacked by many Tories for allegedly betraying the campaign.
		Platell has continued her media career, appearing both as a commentator and presenter on the short-lived Sky News programme Littlejohn, and co-hosting a series on Channel 4 with Piers Morgan.

	Bambooweb: Amanda Platell
		Amanda Platell is a media personality and former press secretary of William Hague, leader of the Conservative Party from 1997 to 2001.
		She was sacked from this post following the publication of details of Peter Mandelson's relationship with a Brazilian man. She took the role of "spin doctor" to Hague in 1999.
		This move was the first step towards increasing acrimony between Hague and his shadow Chancellor and by the time of the 2001 general election Platell was fighting a bitter battle with Portillo's supporters.

	Observer \| 'I have had horrible things said about me'
		Platell is purring almost as loudly as her gingery tom now, so perhaps it is time for me to move in for the kill.
		Platell's great advantage at this point was that she could both write headlines and work the new technology that British newspapers were only just beginning to introduce.
		Platell is very honest and clear about all of this private and difficult territory, which makes it all the weirder that she will tell me almost nothing about her boyfriend (though I can tell she is keen on him because she says his name often, in the way women do when they are in love).

		AMANDA PLATELL: My mom and dad knew and my little brother in Australia, but other than that it was, it was absolutely crucial that it was kept secret because, I mean I didn't tell William, I didn't tell Sebastian, I didn't tell any of my colleagues.
		AMANDA PLATELL: I had control over the content, yes, that was always very, I think that's one of the reasons that I felt comfortable doing it.

	Media Medium: Amanda Platell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Platell's most potent attack on Portillo came from the ridiculous impression of him as odd man out, apparently muscling in on a happy families photo call for William and Ffion with John and Norma Major.
		Although the diary is low on substance and high on innuendo, drip by poisonous drip she has contributed to the general impression of Portillo as damaged goods.
		Platell was forced out of her editorship at the Sunday Express over her revelations about Mandelson's Brazilian lover.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Columnists \| I'm Mandy, try me
		Platell was bowled over by Hague the first time she met him; he called her the day after she was fired to commiserate; and the relationship was sealed after a mildly boozy evening with Ffion at the Hagues' flat.
		Hitherto, Amanda Platell has been someone whose career has been more closely charted by Private Eye than Who's Who; as a result, her public image is more Drop the Dead Donkey' than Newsnight'.
		In her novel, Scandal', published in June, it is Platell's struggle with Rowe, not her later tussle with Rosie Boycott, that is said to fuel the plot.

	AM Archive - Tory crisis
		Ms Platell, who secretly recorded her thoughts on video every night during the election campaign, is alleging that supporters of Michael Portillo, including his Campaign Manager Francis Maude, were systematically undermining and upstaging William Hague's election effort.
		AMANDA PLATELL: I've been doing those and found out who the people are who really believe in what you're doing, and the ones who start briefing behind the scenes are saying well, you know, I have to be supportive up front but, you know, I never agreed with us going so hard on Europe.
		AMANDA PLATELL: No, you see it would be wrong to imply in any way that the Conservative Party is treacherous at every level, it certainly isn't, but there was a small group of people who were not.

	Diary of betrayal - [Sunday Herald]
		Whether Amanda Platell was round the crucial inner table or not, she will know, because of her closeness to William, just when and where these moments were.'
		From those who worked with Platell during shooting of the almost nightly video confessional -- which began at 11pm and sometimes lasted up to two hours -- she consistently emphasises her own loyalty to Hague and is shown to be visually angry at what she saw as the disloyalty surrounding her 'misunderstood' boss.
		Platell herself worked with her deputy communications chief, Nick Wood, a former Times journalist, and the two were often described as the 'Richard and Judy' of British politics.

	Mistress of the Tory war room: ThePost.ie
		Australian-born Amanda Platell has been described as the most powerful woman in the Conservative Party, and her influence in the Tory war room is certainly beyond doubt.
		Critics asked what Platell knew about politics, what experience she had that could possibly lead the party to victory at the next general election with William Hague at the helm.
		Platell recently said she prefers to remain in the background because the less people know about what she does the better she's able to do it.

	Observer \| Spin for your supper
		Amanda Platell has made her career on both sides of the line, peaking in newspapers as the editor of the Sunday Express in 1998 and later grabbing the headlines when, as the Tory party's media chief, she shot a secret video diary during William Hague's disastrous election campaign.
		For Amanda, in any case, the restaurant's cardinal attraction is the great rib-eye they serve - she eats steak three times a week.
		Having dumped on Michael Portillo in her film, she had come to Christopher's one lunchtime when Francis Maude, a prominent Portillista, was, as luck would have it, at the adjacent table.

	Should Michael Portillo Retire From Politics?
		I watched "Unspun: Amanda Platell's Secret Diary" on Channel 4, and immediately thought, "here we go" is another "Woman Tom" bent on trying to bring the human race to the lowest form of the animal kingdom to self reproduce, but this was far from the case.
		I found Amanda Platell to be an intelligent wholesome lady, genuinely passionate in what she was doing, who carried all the finest attributes of womanhood.
		Perhaps that inconsequential Anthony Howard observation he noted in her diary was to him only, and not to the rest of the people (not persons) of the world.

		The former newspaper-editor-turned-William-Hague’s-spin-doctor-turned-columnist-turned-TV-show presenter is known for her uncompromisingly right wing views – and if Hampstead liberals wear beards and sandals, then the archetypal Hampstead conservative would look a little like Platell: beautifully turned out in a fur coat and red leather gloves and a big, contented-with-her-lot smile.
		To catch Ms Platell’s words of wisdom, you now have to buy the New Statesman, or occasionally inside the paper that mirrors her political point of view, the Daily Mail.
		Amanda says she is rapidly getting used to the off-the-cuff nature of TV rather than the slow burn process of writing columns.

		Achievement enough but Amanda, I suspect, will make history as the woman who took her dish of revenge and served it up cold to Michael Portillo before an audience of millions.
		I can't claim to be a close personal friend of Amanda Platell but our paths have crossed often enough for me to recognise that beneath the bubbly, vibrant surface there's something of the she-devil about her.
		The truth is that in the process of demolishing Portillo's ambitions to become party leader, she's cleverly turned herself from potential loser into hot stuff, a woman with the stomach for a fight.
