| | AM - Cherie Blair apologises for Bristol flat saga |
 | | LINDA MOTTRAM: Cherie Blair, the wife of Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, has issued a rare apology, and defence of her actions in the ongoing scandal surrounding her involvement with Australian conman, Peter Foster. |
 | | CHERIE BLAIR: My immediate instinct, when faced with the questions from the Mail on Sunday, 10 days ago, was to protect my family's privacy, and particularly my son, in his first term at university, living away from home. |
 | | MATT PEACOCK: It was a convincing and dramatic statement from Mrs Blair likely not only to scotch most of the accusations against her, but if anything, to increase her popularity over the very tabloids who have been attacking her. |
