 | | John Wakeham was born in 1932, the first of three children. | | | Often obscured by the larger and grander Willie Whitelaw, John (now Lord) Wakeham was her chief whip and later, in a succession of Trollopian-sounding sinecures, lord privy seal and lord president of the council - jobs which left him free to be what amounted to Mrs T's man of business. | | | Tony Blair is not trusting Wakeham on his reputation alone. |

| | Enron: John Wakeham |
| | The PCC's 10th birthday party this year was a quiet testament to Lord Wakeham's success in treading a difficult line between freedom of speech and the need to curb the excesses of over-zealous reporters. | | | His business nous probably endeared him to Baroness Thatcher, whom he served as chief whip through the boom years of her rule in the 1980s. | | | The appointment of the former Conservative high-flyer Lord Wakeham to head a Royal Commission on reform of the Lords looks set to go down well on all sides. |

| | The Observer Comment Andrew Rawnsley: And they wonder why voters are cynical |
| | When Tony Blair was in need of a Tory to rubber-stamp his own wish for an unelected Lords, he naturally reached for John Wakeham as the chair of the Royal Commission. | | | It seems to me that the smooth-operator qualities that are so admired by the chief executives of scandalous corporations, royal spin-doctors, newspaper editors and other politicians are precisely what is wrong with the Wakeham style of politicking in the eyes of most voters. | | | When Thatcher had passed her sell-by date, he fixed up her bloodless removal by the Cabinet and silkily reoriented himself behind John Major. |
