I do still have another bet on with Constantly Furious for £10 that Brown will be out before the end of the year. I am still sure...

One of the little noticed milestones of last week was Alan Milburn's announcement that he would be standing down as an MP at the next election, one of about 170 Labour MPs to have announced his intention to leave the Commons. Of all the possible alternatives to Gordon Brown as Tony Blair's successor, I think we may look back on him as the best One That Got Away. It is a close-run thing, because at...
