'In July, it was reported that he asked Gordon Brown to put pressure on Tom Watson, the Labour MP who helped expose the scandal, to drop his investigation.
Mr Blair's spokesman categorically denied the allegation.'
'Mr Blair attended the Jordanian ceremony "garbed in white" and (is) one of Mrs Murdoch's "closest friends".'
'She was befriended by an American woman, Joyce Cherry, who taught her English and offered to sponsor her to study at California State University.
Having taken up the offer and moved in with the family, she embarked upon an affair with Mrs Cherry's husband, Jake. He divorced his wife and married Wendi. The marriage lasted four months, during which time she gained a Green Card'
'Describing their first encounter in 1998, she said: "Rupert was in a meeting and he was asking what was going on in China. They brought me into the meeting and that was how we met."
They married in 1999 on Murdoch's yacht. The wedding took place 17 days after Murdoch's divorce from Anna, his wife of 31 years and mother to Lachlan, James and Elisabeth.'
'"it is important to have a moral compass, wherever you find it. Wendi also has found it through Church and Sunday school."'
