Fraudster helped Blair’s wife to buy two flats

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair’s wife Cherie yesterday confirmed convicted fraudster Peter Foster helped her buy two flats in Bristol.

In a statement issued via Downing Street she said he had helped by talking to the agents for a flat “for a couple of weeks”.

She added if she had caused “any misunderstanding between the Number 10 press office and the media that is unfortunate and I regret that”.
