What a choice.

If Gordon Brown gets topped we get Harriet Harman.

Not quite. It looks like he has dropped the position of DPM altogether,
with the PM responsibilities devolving to another member of the Cabinet. HH
will be deputy party leader and party chairman. Sorry, person.

No, she's not going to be the Deputy PM - she's Deputy Leader of the
Labour Party.

I only caught the tail end of the news on tv and wrongly assumed that
deputy leader meant just that. I wouldn't object to her being deputy
PM or even taking over in a crisis unlike my views on the waiter.

My money's on Jack Straw on being the DPM.

I can't think of anything really bad to say about him and he's always
seemed reasonably competent.

Bad day for Hazel Blears - she came last in the Deputy election and
then publically sacked by Brown as Party Chair (the role now taken by
Harmann).

I don't think it's as worrying as when Dan Quayle was VP in merkania
and it's certainly not as bad as the waiter taking charge of here.

Wonder if she would go all Thatcher on us.
