Guido is pleased to see that the odds on John Reid have tightened over the weekend. Told you on Thursday it was worth a flutter on Betfair. His price has come in from the mid-teens to 11/1 and will probably be down into single figures shortly. Jackie Ashley in the Guardian this morning reckons Reid is making quiet preparations. Oh Goodie, England is going to have a choice of a Scot or a Scot as PM. Actually they won’t have a choice because the PM will be decided by Labour MPs, the union bosses and the dwindling 178,889 members of the Labour party.

England is doomed to be under the yoke of the Scottish Raj without getting a chance to vote.
