spin doctor

Years ago, a spin doctor at a Welsh Labour conference told me how party members were going to help write policies.

Overcoming public resistance might be required first, so Camilla confers with a spin doctor, while divorce lawyers and a prime minister endeavor to end the very public “War of the Waleses.”

The party's former spin doctor recently attacked the investigation as a "grotesque spectacle".

The SNP's former spin doctor has said he is willing to bet that the police investigation into the party's finances will not result in any charges.

That, famously, was how Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell intervened to stop his boss, Tony Blair, from answering a journalist's question about religion.
