According to the Mail, she will be given a State funeral when she dies at some point in the future. If this is true, she will be the first Prime Minister since Churchill to be accorded this honour.

Says Tony Blair.

It’s tough for all leaders at the moment right around the western world because they’ve got things that are happening that, to be fair to them, is not really their individual fault… If you take the financial crisis or fuel prices, these are things that are being driven by world events.
