...true that it's not in the British character to speak as much about religion as it is in America. Alistair Campbell, my husband's press secretary at the time, said very famously that "We don't do God." But the truth is on a personal level, Tony and I very much do God, and Tony has always been a person of faith. It was one of the first things that attracted me to him - he was one of the few young men in their twenties who talked to me about issues of faith and religion. He's passionate about...

He has traveled to the European Council in Brussels and before that to Paris for an emergency summit of euro-zone countries - even though he refused to adopt the euro during his 10-year tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer. With marked success, his Treasury successor, Alistair Darling, has promoted the patented Brown rescue plan to the IMF, the G-7 and the G-20.

His chancellor, Alistair Darling, promised U.K.-based private investors on Wednesday that the government would cover their full potential losses after IceSave, an Internet subsidiary of Landsbanki that attracted customers with a range of high-interest products, ceased trading...

And it's why Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his Chancellor, Alistair Darling, did not want to dwell Wednesday morning on how Britain's banking sector had got into such a parlous state that the government was compelled to spend up to $88 billion in taxpayers' money to secure it. Their emergency rescue plan was hatched over weeks but finalized in such a hurry that bleary officials labored overnight to finish it before the skittish markets opened. At a morning press conference, both...
