A nightmare

Last night I had a nightmare that Gordon Brown was replaced as Labour leader by Ken Livingstone. I suppose I shouldn't have read this from City Unslicker last night.

"Amongst all the talk of Mandelson having gripped the situation, let us observe the familar figure of Ken Livingstone shuttling between the studios, putting in a series of characteristically pugnacious, steely and intelligent ultra-loyalist performances. He's playing a blinder, according to some Labour insiders.

Here's a prediction.

Commissar Ken will be positioning himself assiduously as the authentic voice of sane, electable, never-say-die Labour. He will bag a safe seat (if any there be) in the widespread post-PorkerGate fallout. He will exert himself tirelessly at the GE.

And then ..."

Now that is the stuff of nightmares...
