If there isn't an agreement on financing, if there isn't an agreement about contributions to make sure we can deal with this problem, then the Copenhagen agreement is going to be much, much more difficult
Perry is going to tie down Alistair Darling on a runway at Heathrow, and has asked Sir Richard Branson to mow him down with one of the Virgin Atlantic airliners.
The key challenge is to ensure the next decade is one of growth and not one of low growth and high unemployment
is that we've been through three-party political conferences but when you look at what needs to happen in terms of building a low carbon economy, creating green jobs and helping to save the world from climate change, the fact is that George Osborne, Shadow Chancellor, didn't spend one word talking about...
Finance ministers must be engaged because if there isn't an agreement on contributions, the Copenhagen agreement is going to be much more difficult
What does it say about Gordon Brown that he got into a trial of strength with Alistair Darling, and lost ... The Iron Chancellor has turned into the plastic Prime Minister. These Labour Party politicians are better at writing books about courage than displaying it.
It really is important that we as finance ministers are engaged in (finding consensus), because if there isn't an agreement on finance ... then the Copenhagen agreement is going to be much, much more difficult.
Alistair Darling is a remarkably well-regarded MP here in Edinburgh
I think it really is imperative that when we reach the end of the day that we have shown that we have made some real progress ... If there isn't an agreement on finance ... then the Copenhagen agreement is going to be much, much more difficult.

Alistair Darling is undoubtedly in the second. He is the absolute epitome of a Presbyterian Scottish bank manager w...
There can be no room for complacency amongst G20 countries this weekend
So the G20 must push for a deal on climate financing and governance - this is an essential part of tackling climate change. The road ahead will be difficult, there are arguments still to be won. But that's no reason to give up, rather it's a reason to redouble our efforts.
We will be able to split Northern Rock by the end of the year but I'm not going to rush into a sale. We will only sell when the time is right and when the price is right
We have what we believe is a viable bank [with Northern Rock], which can be sold with private investment coming back in. The remaining assets, they’re not all bad, some of them, you know. If we could take commercial property for example, it may not be worth that much today, but in time it will come back
Two years ago it looked like Northern Rock had come to an end and I think it is a real tribute to the staff here who have gone through a very difficult two years that they have held everything together
The worst of the recession is behind us. A year ago, the world banking system and the global economy were staring into the abyss. Today, the financial system is more stable. Confidencemore stable.

There's a long way to go yet (on climate change) and a lot of reasons to be cautious but all the more reason to show determination
If we stopped supporting the economy now it would crash. Every country in the world and just about every informed commentator is saying the same thing. The job is not finished. The Tories have been wrong at every turn.
