That was indeed a long time ago. Since then he has had other tendencies - towards the liberal wing of what has long been a left of centre unit, in any case.

"In future, they are going to be able to see “If I do biological sciences at one university, I have got a much better chance of a job in a pharmaceutical company than if I do biological sciences at a different university.'
