I met him quite recently:

(a) He is really tiny.
(b) He is a really nice bloke.

(b) rather annoyed me as I was a bit of a lefty in the 80s and Portillo was very much "the enemy"!

I got you to sign my copy of your book! So your celebrity is rubbing off on me a little bit. At least that's what I tell myself. 😉

Oddly enough the Conservatives take much the same view...
