BBCi: "Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher has been taken to hospital after "feeling faint", the Tory party says.  Lady Thatcher, in Downing Street from 1979 to 1990, has suffered from frailer health in recent years but recently held a lavish 80th birthday party.  She will stay overnight at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital but is expected to return home on Thursday.  Following some minor strokes, she has restricted the number of speaking engagements she undertakes."
