...Party, David Cameron, has said that he wants to "rebalance" London's relationship with Washington. "We have never, until recently, been uncritical allies of America ? We must strive above all for legitimacy in what we do." You can bet the ranch that Prime Minister Tony Blair's likely successor Gordon Brown will not let himself get tagged as "Bush's poodle" as he prepares to face Cameron at the polls...
...domestic initiatives, as well as a plunge into Middle East peacemaking that leaves even British diplomats dubious about what leverage he can bring to bear.

The London storm was not literal, but political: Nicholas Stern, a respected former World Bank economist, released his long-awaited report on the long-term economic impact of climate change. Commissioned by Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown and embraced by Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Stern report rejected the conventional argument that combatting climate change is bad news for the global economy. On the contrary, Stern determined that inaction would bring far worse economic consequences. If developed nations do not begin to cut greenhouse-gas emissions...
