Alastair Campbell has donated three of his books to the University of Bedfordshire.

Tony Blair’s former political aide, who was Director of Communications and Strategy in a previous Labour Government, was the guest speaker at a celebration dinner at the StadiumMK, home of the MK Dons.

Milton Keynes is a host candidate city within the England 2018 World Cup bid and the evening raised funds for the bid and MK’s international sporting city status.

Some University of Bedfordshire representatives at the fundraising and publicity event included David Barrett (pictured with Alastair Campbell), Tim Stone, Steve Kendall and Carsten Maple.

Football fan Campbell’s donation, which includes one of his books with a best wishes testimonial, is being kept at the Luton campus library.
