Former prime minister builds network of Christian allies as he prepares to launch a religious 'offensive' in North AmericaTony Blair is preparing to launch a "faith offensive" across the United States over the next year, after building up relationships with a network of influential religious leaders and faith organisations.With Afghanistan and Iraq casting a shadow over his popularity at home in Britain, Blair's focus has increasingly shifted across the Atlantic, to where the nexus of faith and power is immutable and he is feted like a rock star.According to the annual accounts of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, a UK-based charity that promotes cohesion between the major faiths, the foundation is to develop a US arm that will pursue a host of faith-based projects. The accounts show that...

*yawn* Yes, it’s still going.  Last night, Mandelson said that David Cameron’s failure to confront his billionaire deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft over his tax status exposes the “fundamental weakness” of the Conservative leader and undermines his claim to be a moderniser.  In an interview with the Guardian, he said that Ashcroft had Cameron “by the balls”, the affair showed Cameron was “too weak to pick a fight with his own party” and the Tories were “fundamentally unchanged”. Ok, let’s run through that attack again but this time remove any reference to a particular party: ‘The leader of a party has failed to confront their wealthy donors, which exposes the “fundamental weakness” of the party leader...

Tax status casts shadow over advice given to monarch as further details emerge about role in overseas meetingsThe row over Lord Ashcroft's donations to the Tory party threatened to erupt into a full-blown constitutional crisis last night as questions were raised over whether the Queen and the former prime minister, Tony Blair, had granted him a peerage under false pretences.As David Cameron's aides confirmed that Ashcroft would be retiring as Tory deputy chairman after the election, the Liberal Democrats called on the cabinet secretary, Sir Gus O'Donnell, to publish all documents relating to the peerage as a matter of urgency, so that it could be established whether the sovereign had been misled.In a letter to O'Donnell, the Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, Lord Oakeshott, said that,...

STV reports: Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg says that the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War has provided enough information to suggest that the war was illegal. Speaking on Radio Tay on Friday morning at the same time Prime Minister Gordon Brown was facing questions at the inquiry in London, he said: “I’m not a lawyer, but my view is that now there is sufficient evidence to sustain the claim that this was illegal.” “A Dutch inquiry into the Iraq war came to the conclusion that it was indeed illegal, and flew in the face of international law… “It is not a court of law, the Chilcot Inquiry, it was explicitly set up not to determine whether it was illegal or not so that is going to have to happen elsewhere by the lawyers, by the court, but my view is...

Prime minister tells Chilcot inquiry Tony Blair did 'everything properly' and rejects criticisms over equipmentGordon Brown took a major political gamble today by describing Tony Blair's decision to go to war in Iraq as "the right decision for the right reasons" and insisting that "everything that Mr Blair did during this period, he did properly".Dogged by a reputation for disowning unpopular decisions, Brown used his appearance at the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war to deliver a firm defence of Britain joining the US-led invasion, a decision taken and executed when Blair was prime minister and Brown was chancellor.In his most prolonged inquisition on Iraq since the invasion seven years ago, Brown accepted he had been fully involved in the run-up to the invasion, underlined the gravity...

Tony Blair: The Journey aims to 'describe the human as much as the political dimensions of life as prime minister'Tony Blair's memoirs, signed for an estimated £5m almost three years ago, will be published in September, Random House announced today, promising a "frank, open and revealing" account of the former prime minister's life.In a statement issued by the publisher, Blair said he had "really enjoyed" writing the book. "I have tried to write a book which describes the human as much as the political dimensions of life as prime minister," he said. "Though necessarily retrospective, it is an attempt to inform and shape current and future thinking as much as an historical account of the past. Most of all I want readers to have as much pleasure reading it as I had writing it." Blair will...

My first thought when seeing the cover and title of Tony Blair's forthcoming memoirs was to wonder if the book is being sponsored by Lloyds Bank.It's a truly dreadful cover. Why is the right shoulder more visible than the left? There's a joke there somewhere. The book promises to be "human and accessible". Maybe, and I suppose the cover is supposed to reflect that. But if I had been Prime Minister for ten years I think I might want a cover for my memoirs which exuded just a tad more gravitas. The open necked 'I'm a normal kinda guy' look doesn't work on a political memoirs in my opinion.But will I buy it? Of course I...

An incorrigible rebel, the former Labour leader failed politically but always followed his mighty heartMichael Foot, the most improbable literary romantic to lead a major British party since Benjamin Disraeli, has died at the age of 96 after a turbulent political career that left him a much-loved but also deeply controversial figure. Though physically frail he displayed his customary zest for life until close to the end.Born a year before the outbreak of the first world war, Foot's career could be traced through many of the horrors and triumphs of the bloody 20th century, while simultaneously harking back to literary and political conflicts long forgotten by most of those whose votes he sought through nearly 60 years of elective politics. Never a communist, always a leftwing socialist and...

In this exclusive extract from The End of the Party, a richly detailed history of Labour in government since 2001, the Observer's chief political commentator, Andrew Rawnsley, discloses how Tony Blair became so demoralised in the spring of 2004 as Iraq descended into chaos that he almost quit Downing Street. Meanwhile, a seething Gordon Brown waited in the wingsBy the autumn of 2003, Tony Blair looked more vulnerable than at any previous time in his premiership. Polling suggested that half the public wanted him to resign. Sixty per cent of his own party members said he was wrong to go to war in Iraq and approaching half of them wanted him to quit immediately or at the next election. Tensions with his Chancellor, Gordon Brown, were growing. John Prescott organised a dinner party for the...
