Alistair Darling chickens out

Tony Blair showed impeccable timing by leaving his job just before the economy went phut. Gordon Brown succeeded to the role as Prime Minister without anything as messy as a general election or even a Labour party leadership election. Alistair Darling was made Chancellor of the Exchequer, a vile job under this control freak Prime Minister, and now he has chickened out of leading today's PSBR debate leaving it to Yvette Cooper instead.


UPDATE:
It looks as though bloggers like myself have shamed Alistair Darling into leading this afternoon's "debate".
