I think it highly unlikely that Campbell will drop Blair in it, so there's likely to be very little in the way of exposure of the late PM's habits to public view, and rather a lot of the old tabloid journo/porn mag story writer* titillation expertise that served Campbell so well.

FWIW, Blair was explaining shortly before he went how his commitment to open government had included introducing briefings for journalists. Guess who gave the briefings? Guess how long it was before journalists were allowed to mention who gave the briefings?

* Both former roles apparently fitting AC to be the Voice of the Prime Minister.
