Labour's very own Dan Hannan?

So an unnamed minister placed a bet at 66-1 that Gordon Brown would not win the next election.

I am shocked. Not that a Labour Government Minister placed such a bet, but for two other remarkable reasons...

1) shocked that any bookie offered 66-1, regardless of the 'Brown bounce', and
2) shocked that Labour actually have someone with foresight, forward thinking, realism and a keen eye for a good way to spend money, make money and not waste it.

Would the 'unnamed minister' please step forward and lay claim to the Labour leadership, and as a result, the country...
