 Chancellor of the Exchequer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
As Second Lord, his official residence is Number 11 Downing Street in London, next door to the residence of the First Lord of the Treasury (a post usually though not always held by the Prime Minister), who resides in 10 Downing Street.
In 1997, the current First and Second Lords, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, swapped apartments, as the Chancellor's apartment in No. 11 was bigger and thus better suited to the needs of Blair (who had children) than Brown who was at that stage unmarried.
So though no 11 is still officially Brown's residence, he actually resides in the apartment in the attic of No. 10, with Blair though officially residing in No. 10 actually lives in the attic apartment of No. 11.

 The Straight Dope: Isn't 10 Downing Street, the home of the British PM, kind of a dump?
Fittingly located on a dead-end street, 10 Downing was built in the late 17th century by Sir George Downing on what turned out to be a peat bog, which over time caused many of the buildings on the street to settle and crack.
Number 10 is one of only three remaining houses on Downing, the other two being numbers 11 and 12 (all of which adjoin--having even and odd numbers on opposite sides of the street is an American practice).
Number 11 is occupied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and number 12 is the office of a personage called the Chief Government Whip.

 My Testimony for the Downing Street Memo Hearings by Cindy Sheehan
From the expose of the Downing Street Memo and the conversations with George Bush from 1999, it seems like the invasion of Iraq and the deaths of so many innocent people were preordained.
If the Downing Street Memo proves to be true, then it would appear that the president, vice president and many members of the cabinet deceived the world before the invasion of Iraq.
I also believe an investigation into the Downing Street Memo is completely warranted and the necessary first step into righting the wrong that is Iraq and holding someone accountable for the needless, senseless, and avoidable deaths of many thousands.

 Reason: Downing Street Downer: Be careful what you wish for in May; you may get it in June
The Downing Street Memo, the Iraq War's smoking gun, the undoing of the Bush administration, the story so shocking only a concerted effort by the MSM could keep it quiet, the light that will finally open the eyes of the American people, has finally arrived.
The argument over whether the Downing Street Memo is now-famous, famous enough, sorta famous, or just-right famous will go on.
In fact, the media-silence angle was the most interesting part of the story, yielding hilarious gems like Eric Boehlert's survey of newsrooms in Salon, wherein the hard-charging newshound editors at several major newspapers concede that they dropped the ball on this story because the wire services didn't explain that it was important.
