In 2007 The Observer referred to Bailey as a "PR guru who is one of the most influential men you have never heard of" and "a key player in the world of Catholic and Middle East politics." Bailey's descriptions of his own occupation have included "Public Relations Consultant" (2010), "Royal And Diplomatic Consultant" (2011), and "Head R. Order Of Knighthood" (2004).
Bailey was co-president of British Influence and a supporter of Britain's membership of the European Union and the Commonwealth. Following controversy over his alleged abuse of honours, Bailey was removed as co-president of British Influence. He was a supporter of the Conservative Party until 1999 from which time he aligned himself with the Labour Party. He made a substantial donation to the failed leadership campaign of David Miliband in 2010.
