In a ''Guardian'' article the following year, a Brown aide defended the Chancellor:
:"'What are we supposed to do, ignore one of the most successful newspapers in the country?' asked one of Brown's team. 'Gordon sees it very much part of his job to make sure the Labour message is heard as far and wide as possible.'... According to media sources, Dacre has real respect for the Chancellor, seeing him as a man who has principles he sticks to, who believes in the value of hard work and has a Christian outlook similar to his own... The men meet regularly, possibly as often as every two months."
